So let us go on to grown-up teaching.
Let us not go back over the beginning lessons
we learned about Christ.
Hebrews 6:1
I like the story of the little boy who fell out
of bed. When his Mom asked him what happened,
he answered, "I don't know. I guess I stayed too close
to where I got in."
Easy to do the same with our faith. It's tempt-
ing just to stay where we got in and never move.
Pick a time in the not-too-distant past. A year
or two ago. Now ask yourself a few questions. How
does your prayer life today compare with then? How
about your giving? Have both the amount and the
joy increased? What about your church loyalty? Can
you tell you've grown? And bible study? Are you
learning to learn?...
Don't make the mistake of the little boy. Don't
stay too close to where you got in. It's risky resting
on the edge.
When God Whispers Your Name
