Here are the cliff notes from my quite time this morning.

Text: Colossians 1:9-11

INFORMATION v.9 - Knowledge
+
APPLICATION v.9 - Wisdom (Applying knowledge)
=
TRANSFORMATION v. 10- Live a life that honors and pleases the Lord; Your life will produce godly fruit; You will GROW!

Results:
1. God will strengthen us with His power.
2. He will produces godly fruit in our lives (Gal. 5:22-23)
3. God will become more real to us.
The problem is that most Christians skip the APPLICATION part and they wonder why they don’t grow.  People think if they had more information that God will transform their lives.  It’s not how much you know but how much you APPLY.  Most Christians say they want to go deeper in the Word of God.  But what they really are saying is, I just want to know more about the Bible and not do nothing with it.  You want to go deep?  This is deep…

• Love your wife the way Christ loves the Church.
• Tithe.
• Forgive those who wrong you.
• Love your neighbor as yourself.
• Pray for your enemies.

Are you growing as a Christian?  Why not?
