Seedtime and Harvest

Given with a milder tone than most, this message from Tom Harmon is both a reassuring reminder and a word of warning.

Our adversary may be a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour, but we are promised that when we stand and resist, he will flee from us. Our will to fight is one of the most powerful weapons we can use against our enemy.

Both physical and spiritual growth are step by step processes. As humans we grow up physically. One day at a time, one decade at a time, the years of our life pass and we aspire to maturity. As Christians we grow up spiritually as well. But what does maturity look like in this realm?

Once the Gospel begins to bear it's fruit in our lives, God's work is not over. His Holy Spirit continues that work. My sin nature must be faced. As Paul says, Christians still have the capacity for anger, bitterness, drunkenness, lust and fear.
