    These two verses provide a blueprint for each of us as we seek to move toward spiritual maturity, and become like Christ. Since we are disciples of Christ, and if we are ever to become like Christ, we will need to "grow up" in these basic areas.

They are seasons that emphasize grace, God’s love, and His sacrifice. But as we move into the interlude, ...read more
