A Mature Dialogue on Maturity - at least that's what I'd like to think ;)

Asked Peter and Sharon what's maturity like:

Sharon:
"I think it's consistency, conviction and character.
Wow, that's a very big word! Why don't you go ask Peter more about it?

:)"

Peter:
ha..that's a big word u ask me
how u see the world from God's perspective
depth of understanding of God's principles
just some of things that come into my mind

sound thinking

legalist application of WOG VS understanding the God's true

principle

think sound thinking is very impt

understanding is emphasis in proverbs

can read psalm 32:9 also mentioned shortly about it

understanding involves understanding God's word..too

YA:
yah i think i'm weak in understanding God's Word...

Peter:
well..see the benefits of it...and u will want to do it

i do it because i want to be sound

see God soundly

sound understanding helps us in being firm

if not some smooth talking ppl can easily shake us

YA:
tink i get it... understanding involves seeing the HEART, the REASON behind why we do the things we do... why God's Word's say this or tt...

Peter:
yes
rem..WOG is one of God's armor
eph 6

ha..
seriously..sound mindeness is even useful when u're sowing

it helps to add that bit of help

unsound thinking opens way for lies to come in

when u least expect

and remember sound thinking is thinking based on God's

word..

Godly wisdom

YA:
*sitting back*

*thinking*

Peter:
well..go plough thru proverbs haha

*******
YA
wow

growing in maturity really, i have so much to learn...

Peter:
oh i am learning too

just have to start somewhere that's all after u see the value

YA:
yah!
hmm
so i think one value of maturity is that it'll enable us to

have a sound mind...
for a sound mind'll protect us from lies tt creep in
is my understanding correct?

Peter:
yeah..and much more..
i learn n see the value even more as days goes by

in simple..it's an ongoing thing

it is not e=mc2

chew on it slowly...

haha

and constantly
