(Philippians 1:9-11) 9 And I pray this, that your love may abound even more and more in knowledge and every kind of insight 10 so that you can decide what is best, and thus be sincere and blameless for the day of Christ, 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God. D.A. #Carson says, “Paul didn’t expect for maturity to fall on the early church. He expected them to grow.” One of the prayers for every pastor is to pray that his people will grow to maturity. He should also take steps to provide systems for this to be possible, but never think that it is all his doing. He is always praying for God’s grace to do the miracle of spiritual maturity.
