Strong and mature Christians do not simply pop out of the oven overnight. The fruit of the Spirit takes time to grow in a person.
I read this and immediately thought about pop tarts. Unlike the picture on the left, there was practically nothing inside. Very little filling compared to the dough. Not unlike a new Christian. Or even an “old” Christian who was satisfied with the initial “committing their life to Jesus” – and then does nothing after that. Someone who doesn’t allow the Holy Spirit to fill them and guide their lives.
Is life supposed to be like this: House Set to Subject 64,000 Household Chemicals to Regulation Of course not. So why do so many people reject the chance to have a better life? When I first read the headline on msn.com news – House Set to Subject 64,000 Household Chemicals to Regulation – my
