Why Deep Roots?

1 Timothy 4:16 says to watch your life and your doctrine closely.

So why Deep Roots?

1. To Grow Up - Heb. 5:11-6:2 - Be more today than what you were yesterday
2. To Overcome - Mk. 4:5-6, 16-17; Jn. 5:39; Ro. 10:17 - Those roots don't grow just by a Bible being there

How Do I Get There?

1. Eagerness - Acts 17:11 - Not just enthusiasm, but Great Eagerness - Are you approaching the scriptures this way?
2. Examine the Scriptures - Acts 17:11 - The Greek word for examine, Anakrino, used here is to judge, investigate and question in a forensic sense
3.  Obedience - Jn. 14:21; Jn. 8:31-32 - If you don't put into practice what has already been learned, why would God give you deeper insight?

God calls us to take personal responsibility for our Christian walk.

Hebrews 5:12-14
¹² In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! ¹³ Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. ¹⁴ But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.

Let's all move on to solid food.
