Craving The Pure Milk of The Word

What a great day!  His Word has come alive today and once again, I am held captive by His Love!

1 Peter 2:2  Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation

1 Peter 2:3 now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.
I found myself on the Assembly of God website today because I am a new member of an Lifepoint Church in Gainesville www.lifepointgainesville.com and I felt it was my duty to delve deeper into the core beliefs of a church of which I claimed to be a member.  As I was studying and reading the 16 Fundamental Truths, I found myself, referencing the scripture with the aid of www.Blueletterbible.com and www.Biblegateway.com  , I ended up on a rabbit-trail, completely immersed in a sense of insatiable craving to know more of truth.  I realized, just how little I know!  I pondered the idea of progressive sanctification, wondering whether this aligned itself with the Assembly of God's approach to the fundamental truths  www.ag.org .  I found myself so caught up in my own spiraling, man-made, epistemological and teleological debate, that I I almost became overwhelmed, and then was granted, a spiritual peace, spoken to me through His Word, that I would be carried along by the Holy Spirit, at a pace of His choosing.
2 Peter 1:21  For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. 
2 Peter 1:3  His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.
I humbly accept that I am just a babe in Christ, and know so little, but so much!  I know that his Glory and Goodness will continue to be revealed.  Thank You Lord!
