Becoming a Stronger Christian.

Colossians 1:10-11 (first part is from yesterday)
10 And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, 11being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully


You as a sole individual can bring joy to God. Yes, there are billions and billions of people in the world, but you can only control how YOU grow as a Christian.

Here are a few things you can do to in order to continue growing:
1. Do good deeds that will impact the lives of others in the world.
2. Be willing to learn more about God. Read the bible! Too much knowledge, let alone about God, can never be a bad thing. Plus, I find I gain something new every time I read a passage whether it be a few days, weeks, or months later.
3. Accept what you have learned and apply it to your everyday life. Don't just read and let it sit there. If you apply what you learn about God to your everyday life, you will be strengthened greatly.

Think about other Christians. Have you seen them growing in any of these three ways?
