Grow

Peter instructed believers to "grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" (2 Peter 3:18). In another place, he issued a similar challenge by saying, "as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby" (1 Peter 2:2). These verses express God's desire for all believers to live a life of ongoing spiritual advancement. Such development is the process through which God makes His children into the all He wants them to be. Unfortunately, many Christians never expereince the life of growth that God intends. Instead, they setlle for stagnant lives of defeat and spiritual inmaturity.In "Grow: Commitments for Spiritual Growth," Pastor Patrick Latham examines common commitments found in the life of healthy Christ-followers.
