It’s time to grow

Prayer, studying the bible, and being in a Christ centered, bible believing church are all ways to mature in your faith. So, then, you will no longer be like an infant that is easily decieved or tossed back and forth from one idea to the next. The world’s teachings (college professors, media, celebrities opinions, activists, extremists.) change almost daily. God’s truth has remained the same and will never change.

Ephesians 4:14-16

14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. 15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. 16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.

Church is for sinners

“I’m too caught up in sin to go to church.” Friend, church is for the sinners. Church points you to the God of change. God does not expect you to change yourself first. Do you want to be healed? Then get uo and get in the water. You have two choices….keep leaving by the world and waiting for situations to change or come just as you are to the God that sent His only son to wash your sins away. A baby isnt born into this world expected to know how to walk and feed itself. You are not born into Christ expected to know how to walk or feed yourself. Get in a group of more mature Christians (like church), listen to sermons online along with going to church, and read bible studies that help you understand verses. Be fed and learn how to walk from others that are further along. Then before you know it, you will be helping to feed others. You will be helping others walk. And that old sin that you felt was too bad for church…you will overcome that. You will start to do more of the right things and it wont even seem that hard anymore. I know how it feels to need to let go of something for God. But I also know I didnt let go until I was deep in church and Gods word. I also know letting go of that sin was the best thing I ever did. It could have cost me everything but I gained a Father’s love, forgiveness and and a close relationship with Him and that is worth it all.
