Teaching Truth

Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good. (1 Peter 2:1-3)
Regular, consistent teaching and preaching of biblical truth is what every Christian needs, not clever talk, not flashy techniques, not new methods, or culturally relevant sermons, but divine truth, honored, studied, taught, and re-taught. Why? Because God's Word is timeless, dynamic, and fundamental to godly living. No one ever outgrows it or exhausts its immeasurable depth.
Scripture, when energize by the Holy Spirit, is the source of our spiritual growth. Expository verse-by-verse Bible teaching and preaching is how God uses His faithful pastors to build His church, and we best not forget that. Internalizing spiritual truth so that it shows up in our lives can only happen child of God, when proper attention is given to God's Word. May I say, ever believer needs to be under good sound Bible teaching, anything less is shameful and a disgrace. You think about that.
