I Am (we are) All Still Growing!
Sir Edmund Hillary failed in several of his early attempts to climb Mount Everest, the tallest mountain in the world.
On one occasion he had to leave five associates dead on the side of that great mountain.
Still, the British parliament wanted to recognize these valiant efforts, so they invited Hillary into their chambers.
They even placed a picture of Mount Everest at the front of the room.

When Sir Edmund Hillary entered the room, the members of Parliament rose to give him a standing ovation.
When he saw these great legislators standing and applauding his good effort, tears filled his eyes.
Many members of Parliament noticed the tears and thought, Look, the tears of happiness that we are recognizing this good effort he has made.

They were not tears of happiness and joy; they were tears of anger and frustration!
Sir Edmund Hillary certainly had not set out to leave five associates dead on the side of that mountain, so he walked to the front of the room and literally pounded on the picture of Mount Everest.
He screamed at the mountain: “You defeated me!
But you won’t defeat me again!
Because you have grown all that you can, but I am still growing!”

As Hillary walked to the front of the room, he recognized something that many people never recognize: Certainly he had made a good effort to climb that mountain, but the greatest enemy of excellence is good!
He had not set out to make a “good effort” at climbing Mount Everest, but to arrive at the top.
Ultimately, he was the first person to climb Mount Everest.
Why?
Because he continued to grow and refused to be satisfied with the good.

1. Beginning to Grow Up (vv.
1–3)
a.
The Word of God helps to change our lives.
Our relationships with others should demonstrate this change.
SUPPORTING IDEA: Spiritual growth is fueled by a deep appreciation of God’s grace.
Malice, an attitude similar to hatred, is the desire to inflict pain, harm, or injury on another person.
It includes the holding of grudges and acting out of these grudges against others.
Deceit refers to deliberate dishonesty, to speaking or acting with ulterior motives.
Anything less than speaking the full and honest truth from the heart is deceit.
This vice is the selfish, two-faced attitude that deceives and hurts others for personal gain.
Hypocrisy has an intriguing history.
It comes from a verb meaning “to answer.”
A hypocrite originally was simply a person who answered.
Then the word came to mean “an actor,” a person who takes part in a stage drama, specifically the interactive narrative parts of question and answer in the play.
From there, this word came to mean a person who is acting out a part and concealing his true motives.
b.
Our relationships with others should demonstrate this change
Envy must also be cast aside.
Envy begins with a desire to possess what belongs to someone else.
