Spiritual Growth

Spiritual growth is the process of replacing self-absorption with Christ-absorption. To become like Jesus we must fill our lives with his Word.
  • All scripture is God-breathed and useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness. I Timothy 3:16
  • Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth but meditate on it day and night, so that you will be careful to do everything written in it. Joshuah 1: 8
  • Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers; but his delight in in the law of the Lord and on this law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Psalm 1:1-3
  • Jesus said, "The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life." John 6:63
