Christians often wonder why they get to a certain point and start finding their spiritual growth has nearly stopped. What do we do? What has happened? The key item in our Christianity must be either missing or unused. The scriptures fuel our spiritual growth like no other item. As Christians in a hostile environment we are surrounded by numerous opposing views. We must retrain our minds in order to maintain our ongoing regeneration. Now, I am not going to throw scripture at you to implore you to believe that the Bible tells you that you need the Bible. You can use almost anything without an instruction manual given enough time and or injuries. Just reminding you that some things are more dangerous than others. I can tell you that I am an incorrigible corrupt reject of society. It is by grace that I am even believed to be a decent person. You could find hundreds who I have scarred and done wrong to. Those people would tell you a story of a despicable person. The people who have known me for most of my life and still speak with me say something different. What makes me a new man? God’s word makes me a new man. Right at this moment I feel angry, alone, and faithless. Perhaps, I should dust off my Bible like I have in every trial in the past. I see it on the shelf. It has sat there for over a month while I shook my fist at God. My anger keeps me from the Word. Go and pick it up is what the Spirit tells me. Knock the dust off of it and find your healing.
