Self-Feeder

Jesus states in Matthew 4:4 that "man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God." In another translation of this scripture, it states that we are to "feed ourselves on every word from God." God's goal for every disciple is that we experience real life, the kind of life that compelled Jesus to leave heaven and die a criminals death on a cross in order that we cast off the chains of sin and condemnation.

Unfortunately, many aren't experiencing that dynamic real life in Christ because we have failed to learn how to "feed ourselves" from the Word of God - the Bible. Too often Christians settle for secondary sources of spiritual sustenance. These are "spoon fed" Christians that rely on others.

If you want to really live - feed your soul, not just your face. Learn how to dig into God's word and apply it to your life.
