GROWING STRONG IN SPIRIT

“Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭2:2-3‬ ‭NIV


As someone who have lactose intolerance, milk isn’t something i naturally craving for. Nor do I enjoyed in the past, as it would only caused stomach upset.
.
Only after endless efforts, my system could somehow begin to absorb and be benefited by milk.
.
I wonder this is what might be the condition of our spiritual life? Some kind of “intolerance” in our system that make us unable to enjoy nor to be nourished by spiritual milk? Hindering some people to taste the goodness of our Lord?
.
Unless we grow strong in spirit, grow up in our salvation, with spiritual nutrients, would there be other ways to get rid of all malice and deceits, hypocrisy m, envy, and slander of every kind? To stop inflicting on others or be able to overcome when we are being attacked?
.
How could we grow strong in spirit? What kind of spiritual diet do we have?
.
My prayer is that we may taste the goodness of the Lord! And our life may may continuously declare that the Lord is good!

BIBLE, THE WAY TO HEAVEN (2 Timothy 3:10-17—Preacher: Ps Paw Liang) I want to know one thing: the way to heaven. God himself has condescended to teach me the way. He has written it down in a book. Oh, give me that book! At any price give me that book of God. Let me be homo unius libri – a man of one book . (John Wesley’s Prayer) What does the Bible mean to you? False teachings was one of the issues faced by the early church. Paul reminds us, the Bible is the way to heaven, the way of God, the way of life. We need to be rooted in the Bible firmly. “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” The Bible should be the foundation of our life and ministry. in discerning the teachings in our time and in setting direction for our church. The Methodist Quadrilateral do not have equal weigh. Rather, Tradition, Reason, and Experience should...
