A Christian eager to learn is a growing Christian. They understand that their God-given mind is a responsibility and desire to use it for God's glory. Here are three ways I continue my passion for learning every day:
1) READING: Reading and meditating on God’s Word is vital for spiritual growth.
We should read Scripture with both our heart and mind. I also read theology,
commentaries, biographies, and the writings of great people, as they offer
inspiration and wisdom. It’s easy to spend most of our time on TV or social
media, but mature Christians I know choose good books and quiet time over
entertainment (though there is a time for everything).
2) OBSERVING: Learn by observing others. I enjoy watching people in public
places to understand more about life. As John T. Noe said, “Too many people are
more concerned about how others see them than observing others.” I also watch
spiritual mentors—whom I know personally or through media—closely, learning
from both their successes and failures.
3) LISTENING: We can’t learn if we’re always talking. When I pray, I talk to
God, but when I read Scripture, God speaks to me. That’s why reading His Word
is so important (or, my favorite, listening to the audio Bible!). Listening
more and talking less helps us learn from others, young and old, who have much
to teach if we take the time to listen.
