Our babes must be nurtured and taught constantly.<br />1 Peter 2:2 "...as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby..."<br />I would add to this a beginning of church services attended for encouragement and instruction (Heb. 10:24-25).<br />Much of the world must be viewed as an octopus with all of its suctions and severed (1 Cor. 15:33; Eph. 5:11; 2 Tim. 2:4).<br />Learning the behavior of study, meditation, and worship (2 Tim. 2:15; Psa. 1:2; 1 Thes. 5:17).<br />Mentored to become involved in the salvation of others (Jn. 15:1; Rom. 7:4).<br />And finally, all of our 'love and nurturing' must be done in a godly manner.
