Ephesians 4:14-16

...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 into all things into Him who is the head -Christ- from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.


Greetings Bible Enthusiast!

Another way to progress toward maturity is to diligently read and study the Bible. I know a man who, whenever confronted with his lack of spiritual knowledge or understanding, states "I once read the whole Bible from cover to cover." As if that was enough!

Then I know another man who has devoted the last thirty-five years of his life to scholarly research of the Bible and he is constantly saying things like, "Wow, I've never noticed this before!"

It seems the wonders and discoveries in the Word of God are endless. Read and study as you strive toward maturity!

God Bless You!

--ANSWER TO TRIVIA QUESTION:

Q. What did Jesus say is the only reason for divorce?

A. sexual immorality


"And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery."

Matthew 19:9

Notice Jesus did not say only adultery as the reason for divorce, although sexual immorality certainly would include adultery.
