Today, I want us to take a close and honest look at where
we are spiritually. Guiding our kids spiritually starts with us, in our life.
Here’s a question … was there a time in your life when
you were closer to Christ? When was that? Why were you closer then? What
happened?
Regardless of your answer, what will it take for you to
grow and mature to the next place God has for you?
Listen to Hebrews 6:1-3 …
So let us stop going over the basic teachings about
Christ again and again. Let us go on instead and become mature in our
understanding. Surely we don’t need to start again with the fundamental
importance of repenting from evil deeds and placing our faith in God. You don’t
need further instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the
resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. And so, God willing, we will
move forward to further understanding.
Now, granted, baptism, laying on of hands, resurrection
of the dead, and eternal judgement are some heady topics, but we don’t need to
miss the real point of the passage: Don’t keep re-learning what you already
know. Don’t go backwards spiritually. Move forward and grow.
Listen to today’s passage in the Message Bible … So come
on, let’s leave the preschool fingerpainting exercises on Christ and get on
with the grand work of art. Grow up in Christ. The basic foundational truths
are in place: turning your back on “salvation by self-help” and turning in
trust toward God; baptismal instructions; laying on of hands; resurrection of
the dead; eternal judgment. God helping us, we’ll stay true to all that. But
there’s so much more. Let’s get on with it!
What has to happen for you to grow in Jesus?
Can we ask Him to reveal what He wants to lead you in
growth, what might a next step, a new area of focus be?
What needs to happen for you to help your kids grow with
you?
That, my friend, is your next step.
Let’s pray together: “Heavenly Father, help me to be
solid in what I know to be true about You and then start (or keep) growing and
maturing in You. Help me to be constantly moving forward to a new place in You
and taking my kids with me. As above, so below.”
