Growth
nGrowth is normal to life—failure to grow is abnormal. If we are living precisely as we
lived 10 years
ago, we haven’t grown. If we give or pray as much as we gave 10 years ago, we haven’t grown.
nThe Kingdom of God grows, as people become Christians.
–It cannot be stopped: Matthew 13:31-32 He told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted
in his field. 32 Though it is the smallest of all your
seeds, yet when
it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the
air come and perch
in its branches.“
