🌱Grow 🌽

 Be not afraid of growing slowly; be afraid only of standing still. 

2 Peter 3:18 (KJV) But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

Grow is to enlarge, to produce. When the farmer plants, what does he need to see happen? He needs to see that the seeds he planted are growing. If they grow then they will produce. The same is true with other things. We are born into this world and we are fed milk but as we grew it wasn't long before we needed more than milk. We then were fed soft foods which satisfied us for a while but like the milk we soon needed more. Then we were fed solid foods. Each step showed a growth period. This is true in everything, especially in learning. If we stop learning then we become stagnant, not active in our learning. That is why many know little or nothing about the Bible. It’s because they are having little to nothing to do with their learning process. They have let someone else do their thinking for them. I just don’t have the time to put into another project. Well learning what your Bible says should never be called a project. Church, well there are nothing but hypocrites there and I just don’t care to be around that kind of people. Sunday School, well that’s for kids. Another thing is the only thing the Pastor talked about is money. I will agree there are hypocrites there; Just like everywhere else we go and are a part of but we don’t mind being around those kinds of people then. Sunday School sure it’s for kids but every Church has an adult class and there, if you like you can raise your hand and ask adult questions. Sure the Pastor has to speak about money just like everyone else does but it’s not all the time. When I hear someone say that what they are really saying is I don’t go to Church much but when I go all they talk about is money. 

One can’t grow without participating, keep feeding your baby milk and they won’t grow. Never go to school and you will never learn math, never know what a noun, pronoun, verb or an adjective is. Your reading skills will be very low. What one needs to do is grow and we grow by understanding that’s the growing process.

Hebrews 5:13 (KJV) For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.

Hebrews 5:14 (KJV) But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

How much of the Bible do you really know? Here are some questions, be honest and answer them without looking them up, for they are elementary questions.

1. How many books are in the Old Testament? 
2. Adam and Eve who were they?
3. Who built the Ark?
4. Is the book of Matthew in the Old Testament or New Testament?
5. What was the name of the apostle that denied Jesus?

How did you do? I hope very well, if not them it wouldn’t be a bad idea to attend Sunday School. Remember Heaven is a prepared place for prepared people so don’t be unprepared.
