For reasons I can't fully understand, it seems as though some people choose not to change. There was a long silence as we walked back to the car. Life is too precious, too sacred, too important. I hope you'll love me enough to challenge me to keep growing. The progress of the church is directly related to our personal growth.
Growth has to do with having an interest in new ideas, findings and opportunities.
Growth requires giving up whatever you may be at any given moment, in order to become all God is calling you to be. Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God, instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. The Christian's greatest work is to receive God. God is infinite, man's mind is finite and a Christian must be willing to progress in thought in order to receive the things God has to say. The difficulty of learning is unlearning.
