Practices That Create Growth

Time With The Bible:
how well God must like you - you don't hang out at Sin Saloon, you don't slink along Dead End Road, you don't go to Smart-Mouth College. Instead you thrill to God's Word, you chew on scripture day and night. Psalm 1:1 - 2 (MSG)

Daily Prayer:
the Lord is close to everyone who prays to him, to who truly pray to him. psalm 145:18 (NCV)

Community With Each Other:
we should keep on encouraging each other to be thoughtful and do helpful things. hebrews 10:24

Giving To God And Others:
you are rich in everything - in faith, in speaking, in knowledge, in truly wanting to help, and in the love you learned from us. in the same way be strong also in the grace of giving. 2 corinthians 8:7

Relating To Others Like Christ
in your lives you must think and act like Christ Jesus. Christ himself was like God in everything. but he did not think that being equal with God was something to be used for his own benefit. but he gave up his place with God and made himself nothing. he was born to be a man and became like a servant. and when he was living as a man he humbled himself and was fully obedient to God even when that caused his death - death on a cross. phillipians 2:5 - 9 (NCV)

Opportunities To Share Christ
use every chance you have for doing good, because these are evil times. ephesians 5:16 (NCV)
