Danger of Never Growing Up
Song 8:9 &mdsh; If she be a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver: and if she be a door, we will inclose her with boards of cedar.
Hebrews 6 read
I. The Danger is Real
- casual: relaxed and unconcerned.
- PICKING AT THE THE RUST SPOT, not just letting things slip
- 2018 surevy discovered, Americans are getting shorter. For Most of US History Americans were among the tallest people in the world. Colonial army was by average 3 inches taller than British soldiers. (WW2 2" taller than germans) AMERICANS WERE TALL BECAUSE AMERICANS WERE HEALTHY.

II. Stunted Growth
- Are we PREPARING? Getting Ready?
- Genetics - Genetics account for 86% of height
- Environment - Diet, Habits of Life (Diet in child hood is crucial to height development)
- There has never been so many CHRISTIAN THINGS = Integrity (honest, moral uprightness -- You can live upright in an upside down world. 3 Hebrew Children)
- "Unisex Alpaca Slippers" --- NO
- Sneaking Kisses in the Youth Camp Closet
- Loseness men and women
- Not everyone is "god's children" ==> Must be Born AGain
III. How Do We Grow?
- HOW WE GROW Growth doesn't come just cause I "want to grow up" like a preteen wanting to be a teen or a teenager grown up - Development
- Development not Wishful thinking (Do things)
- Integrity:
- Do for Someone that cannot repay.
- Ask for instruction and Correction. "Preacher talk to us about movies"
- Bear the Loss yourself
- NO matter how skilled you are, let your EFFORT be your greater quality.
1. Not Enough to Hear the Word but are we "DIGESTING IT" (Chew your food!)
- WE need the Word of God DAiLY
3. Worship
- Spiritual beings and the Holy Ghost
- God is a Spirit and they that worship him MUST worship HIM in Spirit and in Truth.
- WHAT ARE WE WIRSHIPLIBG IF NOT GOD
- Danger of not going anywhere
