“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” 2 Peter 3:18 (NIV)
Growth is the goal of the Christian. Maturity is mandatory. If a child ceased to develop, the parent would be concerned, right?…
When a Christian stops growing, help is needed. If you are the same Christian you were a few months ago, be careful. You might be wise to get a checkup. Not on your body, but on your heart. Not a physical, but a spiritual.
May I suggest one?…
Why don’t you check your habits?… Make these four habits regular activities and see what happens.
First, the habit of prayer…. Second, the habit of study…. Third, the habit of giving…. And last of all, the habit of fellowship.
