Growing in Holiness

People in the church are only confused because they depend on their pastors to tell them what to believe instead of seeking Christ through their Bibles and prayer.
It is human nature for people to want someone else to make their spiritual decisions for them. I am a former Catholic and because of this, I can see the same mentality of placing the "pastor" or "priest" above others as though they are the person who has all the answers.
Many pastors promote this by not allowing correction from the "pew people" as though they cannot hear from the Holy Spirit.
Also, pastors have a propensity to go with the wisdom of their seminaries and Bible colleges instead of praying and studying on their own through the guidance of the Holy Spirit Who lives in them.
If anyone is confused about the definition of morality it is only because they are not seeking God on their own through prayer in seeking Christ Who lives in them.
Many pastors are going with the secular culture so as to not be seen as strange, they want to be acceptable to the people of the culture far more than they care about truth from God's Word.
Every born-again believer ought to be growing and changing all the time. Stagnation is not a real thing, only regression when one stops learning and stops seeking God they always without a doubt regress..
Romans 12:1-2
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.."
