They Were Not Growing

A couple told me they felt they were not growing as they should. They did not enjoy the worship, couldn’t sit in Bible classes and all in all they felt they were not getting anything much from their religion.

Further discussion disclosed that they were not Bible readers, they did not pray in their home, they never even tried to prepare a Bible lesson, and had never made a visit in their lives. Is it any wonder they were not growing? What would have made them grow? Christian growth comes from effort. Bible study is enjoyed by those who are prepared to enjoy it. Worship is satisfying only to those who hunger and thirst after righteousness. We do not grow upward because we have never put roots downward. We grow outwardly when we are nourished inwardly!

YOU ARE GROWING IN CHRIST AND YOU ENJOY A HAPPIER WAY OF LIFE WHEN YOU:

1. Assemble at the appointed time with the saints of God.

2. Pray to God daily.

3. Give to God a part of your time.

4. Give to God according to your prosperity.

5. Attend Bible classes regularly.
