Returning to the basics
“We can’t grow up in the Christian life until we grow deep. And growing deep means returning to the basics. I’ve noticed a pattern in my forty-plus years of ministry. Everyone who succeeds in the Christian life succeeds in the basics. Everyone who fails has, at some point, let the basics slip. It’s easy to do.
…
I have found personally that when I’m in His Word and when I’m faithful in prayer (even if it’s five minutes a day), I grow a little deeper. I have discovered that the Christian life is nothing more than the life of Christ — living and growing in my life. When I draw near to God, He draws near to me. It’s wonderful! ” - Chuck Swindoll, Insight For Living Ministries
