Feed Yourself Spiritually

I searched the Internet on feeding yourself spiritually. These are some of the articles that came up. A mature Christian should be able to feed himself. Why do people say they need to be fed spiritually at church? It is because they are not being responsible for themselves.

Let us not be foolish but learn what the will of God is. Eph 5:17


How to Feed Yourself Spiritually
AUTHOR: Rev J.A.McBean Sr
Badly written, but good ideas.

People must be more responsible for their own life.
# SPIRITUAL INFANCY = Getting Fed
# SPIRITUAL ADOLESCENCE = Feeding Yourself
# SPIRITUAL ADULTHOOD = Feeding Others

Spiritual Maturity

Make a choice to learn God's word.
Make a choice to live by God's viewpoint.
Learn to walk in the Holy Spirit's control.
Make a choice to live in the promises of God.
