Spiritual Understanding

“Spiritual understanding rarely comes from a lecture. It comes in classrooms where questions are welcome; where doubts and fears can be expressed; and where honest opinions are never dismissed. It comes from obedience, private study and prayer. 

Spiritually, the classroom of faith becomes less like a lecture hall and more like a fitness center. Students do not get stronger by watching someone else do the exercises. They learn and then participate. As their spiritual strength increases, they gain confidence and apply themselves all the more.” Neil A. Andersen

Spiritual understanding requires effort over time. The more we work at it, the more we understand. It's pretty awesome!
