Are you growing?

``That we henceforth be no more children,
tossed to and fro,
and carried about with every wind of doctrine,
by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness,
whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
But speaking the truth in love,
may grow up into him in all things,
which is the head, even Christ:''
Ephesians 4:14-15

Are you growing to maturity in Christ??

According to God's Word, He desires us to grow in our faith to maturity. (Ephesians 4:14-15). God does not desire us to remain as babes in Christ.

And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual,
but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
I have fed you with milk, and not with meat:
for hitherto ye were not able to bear it,
neither yet now are ye able.

For ye are yet carnal:
for whereas there is among you envying,
and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
I Corinthians 3:1-3

For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow:
but woe to him that is alone when he falleth;
for he hath not another to help him up.
