(Through this Second one I understand the importance of Growing as A True

Chris.
Our
attitude when in front of the Word of God must be humility and being teachable.
If we lose this attitude, then we are in spiritual danger. I meet some people
today who are so strongly opinionated about God’s Word bur they are not humble
or teachable. My heart is sad when I meet such people, especially in Church or
in Mission organisation.
