I want to be a fireman when I grow up. I want to be a doctor or a nurse — a teacher — an astronaut — a police officer — a banker — and the list goes on and on. Children are always excited about what they can be and do when they are grown or mature. For them, the sky is the limit! How sad that, as adults, we often forget the excitement of growing and changing. This can be true of Christians also. Some believe that once we have been confirmed and attend church regularly, we are all grown-up, matur...

Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about what happens to you (1 Peter 5:7 New Living Translation).

It’s a matter of pride and survival, of our sinful human nature. After all, wasn’t that what Adam and Eve were looking for? Wasn’t it really the desire to be like God, so that t...
