Granted, movement looks like life. However, there is one thing we should never move on from. That one thing is the gospel. I never will forget that day all alone, I bowed, I repented for my stubbornness, I made Jesus the Lord of my life, and in a simple moment, another sinner was born again.
I am sorry to say that Christian fads have allured me through the years. There seems to be this tug to move from one fad to another and call that growth. I have found that truth growth is when we grow deeper into the gospel. As J. Knox Chamblin has said, "the Spirit does not take his pupils beyond the cross, but ever more deeply into it."
The Cross was for me. His love was given without any merit. I am accepted. I am a child of God. I am forgiven. I have eternal life.
In the book of Revelation, heaven is looking for someone worthy to open and execute the final plans of God. When heaven saw the Lamb of God they sang a new song, "You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals because you were slain, and with your blood, you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation."
Heaven never moves on from the gospel and neither should we.
