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. 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. 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.

Ephesians 4

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. 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. 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. v14-16

I have previously posted how Christ desires for us to mature in our walk with Him.


In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults. 1 Corinthians 14:20
...
Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God....Hebrews 6:1
 
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You indeed are a great God full of love for us and You desire and plan great things for us...at the same time You expect us to love and trust You with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength.  Yet I often don't particularly in the area of working hard and submitting to my earthly masters.  Thank You that You are patient and You love me anyway Jesus but please forgive me!  Help me turn from this sin and towards You.  Help me love and trust You with all of my heart, soul, mind and strength.  Help me love others as You do.  Help me grow in my faith.  Help me submit to my earthly masters with zeal as if I were serving You.  Give me strength.  Give Lisa strength.  Heal and cure her of this cancer.  Help me serve Lisa, Zach, and Dustin.  Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
