Have you ever heard the phrase, “if it's not measured, it cannot be improved”? I want to apply that to our walk with God. This occurred to me again as I was thinking about smugerals, a term I invented for west coast Liberals who continually vote for policies that are evidently destroying their cities. Smugerals are completely unaffected by the policies they allow to be enacted and are completely unaware that those policies are actually causing the ruin. Those same people are brilliant at running businesses according to KPI’s. They collect the data and apply it to business, biotech, and finance. If they simply run the numbers they would see that the policies they support are ruining their cities, but they won’t. This leads me to the question, is there a way for us to have a KPI focused tracking of our faith walk? I think there is. Galatians 5:22-23 and 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 provide a great basis for this conclusion. I will explain why I think this and how I think we can have a KPI approach to tracking our spiritual growth.

What does God’s Word say?
Galatians 5:22-23 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs.
