If a relationship between two people is to grow, they must have time for each other. This is true of a relationship between a husband and wife, parents and children, and close friends. This truth also applies to our relationship with Jesus Christ. Jesus has a lot of time for us; do we have time for Him?
Scripture: I Peter 2:2-3 and Hebrews 5:11-14
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.
We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain because you are slow to learn. In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
Renewing Reflections
It is our prayer that Renewing Reflections will be a blessing in your life this coming week. This quote is taken from the sermon Meditation delivered on Christian Crusaders July 14, 2002.
Do we know what it is to meditate? Meditation plays a vital role in the Christian’s spiritual growth. The Bible counsels us to meditate on God’s Word. The Psalmist writes, “On my bed I remember you. I think of you through the watches of the night.” (Psalm 63:9) Let us meditate on Psalm 65. . . . God has a word for us. He says, “Take some time every day to be alone with me and meditate on my Word. Then you will be adequately prepared to face life in a broken world.”

On the Light Side
Time Management
The church wanted to help their congregation cope better with the stresses of modern life, so it decided to offer a course in time management.
Soon after the course was announced, a member telephoned the pastor. “What time does the course start, Pastor?”
Oh, six-ish, seven-ish.”
