Personal Growth |
One of the best ways to grow stronger and become more like Christ is to spend personal time with him by reading the Bible and praying.Then we will no longer be like children, forever changing our minds about what we believe because someone has told us something different or because someone has cleverly lied to us and made the lie sound like the truth. Instead, we will hold to the truth in love, becoming more and more in every way like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church. Ephesians 4:14-15 (New Living Translation) Growing through God's Word -In any relationship, if you want to get to know someone better, it requires spending time together.
