8/17/09 BEING GROWN UP ABOUT IT

GROWING UP

Paul tells us that one of the characteristics of growing up spiritually is to be grounded in the faith, settled in our beliefs.


Ephesians 4:14-15
(14)  That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
(15)  But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

KEEP THIS IN MIND
Be filled with truth so that you won't be fooled by a lie.
Let God determine your focus, your priorities, your commitments, rather than the world around you.

Satan seeks your mind, energy, time, efforts, skills and soul.

We are in the world, not of the world.
Make your objectives eternal, not temporal.
Be one of the few dedicated to God's plan and purpose.
