“GROW UP!”
II Peter 3:18
“But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever. Amen.”
Years ago I heard Dr. W.A. Criswell, who was then the Senior Pastor of Dallas First Baptist Church, tell the story of two men who were sitting at a bar arguing about which of them was the most spiritual. (That presents an interesting picture doesn’t it?)
As both of them became more and more inebriated, their argument became more and more heated. Finally one of the men bet the other man $10 that he did not even know the Lord’s Prayer. His opponent accepted the wager and started out. “Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep and if I die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take.” As he finished, the first man gave him the $10.00 and said, “I had no idea you knew the Lord’s Prayer!”
It is tragic that many people know so little about God’s Word. The reason is that they spend so little time in reading and studying God’s infallible Word. In order to grow in God’s grace we must grow in the knowledge of God’s word to mankind.
Here is the vital question: What are you and I doing to grow in the knowledge of God’s Word? How much time do we devote each day to reading our Bible? What Bible studies are we enrolled in to increase our knowledge? It’s very thought provoking isn’t it? We need to GROW UP spiritually!
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
