This Week’s Theme: Maturity – by Ken Turner, June 20, 2018
Ephesians 4:14-15
That we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head… Christ.
Thought for today…
Spiritual “grown-ups” have learned that it’s not enough to know truths about God, you must embrace and internalize those truths into real life. The wisdom God delivers to us through scripture is worthy to be applied and practiced. It becomes our “spiritual DNA,” it is woven into the fabric of our character. His truths make us better spouses, better parents, better sons, better daughters, better employees and better friends. We also become better Christians.

I Corinthians 13:11
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
Thought for today…
Have you committed your heart to God to pursue Him to the next level of spiritual maturity? Don’t let Satan use obstacles and tactics to convince you to stop growing in Christ. It’s easy to allow stumbling blocks to stunt our growth. A Christian friend may have offended you, a pastor let you down or hurt you, or you were disappointed in others who claim to be committed to Christ. The truth is, it’s time to move forward. It’s time to focus on Christ, His promises, and His unwavering power to change your life. It’s time to move to the next level of spiritual maturity.

James 1:4
But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
Thought for today…
“Patience” is your unwavering, steadfast commitment to the faith and the truth you really believe. Allow that commitment to have its full effect in your life, so you be spiritually mature. You will be complete, mature, and not live with gaps and blind spots in your life.

Ephesians 2:10
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
Thought for today…
We are His workmanship, created for good works. Christ has a plan for you to impact the world. His plan is perfect. There are and will always be so many needs, problems and people in pain. You have a spiritual role, a spiritual purpose in this world for this time. You were made to make a difference. You were made for this.

James 3:17
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.
Thought for today…
The wisdom of God that comes down to us from heaven is available if we are willing to yield. One of the most significant keys to unlocking God’s riches in your life is a willingness to listen, a willingness to learn and a willingness to yield to God’s wisdom in exchange for choosing your way.

II Timothy 3:16-17
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Thought for today…
God’s word is powerfully effective. It is the trusted source to turn to when we need to correct our path, and when we need instruction and guidance. If you want to be “complete” as a person, not struggling with gaps of inefficiency in your life, place yourself in the presence of the Bible and make it a part of your life.
