1. They stop learning.
2. They stop maturing.
3. They stop caring.
1. Live is about growing.
Romans 12:1-2 NIV
2. Growing is about transformation.
- To be transformed is to have our form changed. Trans means “change.”
- To be conformed is to have our form changed with another. “Con” means “with.”

Bible Study Method:
- Read and record in your own words what the text says.
- What does this teach me about God/Jesus/Holy Spirit?
- What commands are there for me to follow?
- What promises are there for me to believe in? Are there any conditions to these promises?
- What sins are there for me to avoid?
- Are there new thoughts I would like to pursue and learn more about?
- After reading, what is that God wants me to do? This is the application phase.
- Then base your prayer on what you have learned and write the prayer down.

3. We were born to reproduce.
