Hinweis der Redaktion
Four-letter words have a bad name. Perhaps four-letter words have been given a bad rap. Some four letter words are wholesome, even holy. We can all think of some. I want to nominate one word to be holy – the word is “GROW.” Grow? How big is that four-letter word? The word “grow” is so big that only God can fill the domain in which it dwells. God grows everything, and everyone. Stewards of God could very easily define their entire being and doing into “grow.”
