Essentials for Christian G-R-O-W-T-H

G-Giving                                                                                       We are stewards of all that we possess.  We have life, health, finances, and unique talents.  We must use these talents for God who gave it to us.  If we do not use it, there is danger and the likelihood that Satan will use whatever we have for evil.

Applications:                                                                                                           1. Give one tenth of your earnings to the church (Malachi "bring your tithe to the storehouse")                                                                                                       2. Give your time to church work                                                                             3. Take care of your health and your relationships

R-Read the Bible                                                                          The Holy Bible is the most important book in the world.  It is the word written by me but inspired by God.  The bible was written for instruction in right living so that we as humans could be in compliance with a Holy God.

Applications:                                                                                                        1. Read your bible each day                                                                                    2. Get involved in a bible study                                                                                3. Disciple and help someone else study the Bible
