This is a funny presentation but it's not a joke. Hopefully it will open the eyes of many church goers and turn those headed for Hell.

1. With Love,

2. THESE ARE TWO GUYS HANGING, NOT
PARENT & CHILD (same for future pics)
Dude! You can
totally make
that jump!
I think I’m going
to spit up!

3. Grow Up and Graduate
 Babies come into their new world not talking but babbling.
 But it’s socially ok. Why?
 Answer: ?

4. Grow Up and Graduate
 Babies come into their new world not talking but babbling.
 But it’s socially ok. Why?
 Answer: Because they’re babies!

5. Grow Up and Graduate
 8th graders are not expected to know calculus, but they
should be masters of addition

6. Grow Up and Graduate
 A healthy 50 year old may not be rich, but should know how
to take care of her or himself

7. Grow Up and Graduate
 A talking 6-month old or an 8th grade calculus master are
rare but admired traits
 It’s encouraging when a young one acts positively beyond
one’s years

8. I wonder if I can get
my diaper rash cream
cheaper on eBay…?
Here’s a
smart baby
working a
computer…
way beyond
his years.

9. Grow Up and Graduate
 But how do we view the opposite…?

10. Here’s a
WHOA! Wild time grown man
Graduate and Grow
in the treehouse Up hanging out
last night huh bro?! with a baby,
playing
baby games.
*Ugh* I shouldn’ta
drank that whole
bottle…

11. Here’s a
grown woman See the Ring Pop
taunting a Cindy?! Bobby
baby like a DOES like me
child better than you!

12. I wasn’t really giving
you a present. Just
wanted you to pull my
gift-wrapped finger!
What about this senior toying
with the children instead of
eating his food and talking to
the other adults?

13. Grow Up and Graduate
 It is a sad sight when one does not act their age
 An 8th grader who can’t add
 A completely healthy adult woman who crawls outside
instead of walk
 A completely healthy 50 year old man who does not
know how to take care of himself, work, be responsible,
feed himself, etc.
 Do you like to hang out with and act like those much younger
than you?

14. Grow Up and Graduate
 If that’s the case, why do so many Christians do the
same thing spiritually?

15. Grow Up and Graduate
 When you accept the Gospel you are a new creation
 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the
old has gone, the new has come!
 2 Cor. 5:17

16. Grow Up and Graduate
 At that point you graduate spiritually from your old life
 But like a student going from high school to college you
become a fresh-man

17. Grow Up and Graduate
 Test: You’re a college FRESHman on scholarship. If
you graduate your parents will give you your
massive lifetime inheritance. If not you lose your
scholarship and get kicked out of your home. What
would you do?

18. Grow Up and Graduate
 Test: What would you do?
A. Rarely study and go play on the middle school
monkey bars with the other kids
B. Study once or twice a week and just do what it
takes pass (shoot to get at least a D-)
C. Study daily, participate in study groups, see the
teacher in office hours, don’t go to parties that will
hurt your chances pass tests.

19. Grow Up and Graduate
A. Such students will fail and get kicked out of school.
B. A scholarship requires a good GPA. C’s or less means
losing it and getting a loan or job to pay tuition. Also makes
it harder to study & graduate.
C. Such a student will pass and receive their inheritance. Would
also be financially better than the passing, in debt (B.) students.

20. Grow Up and Graduate
 While many say they would be the student described in (C.)
most seem to live the spiritual lives of (A.) and (B.)
 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes
from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
 Matthew 7:16

21. Grow Up and Graduate
A. Ungodly (Cold) [who play & get drunk in the monkey *bars*]
B. “Part-time” Christians (Lukewarm)
C. Repentant Believers (On FIRE for God)

22. Grow Up and Graduate
 If we want to graduate and receive our inheritance in Heaven we
must stop living & acting like we did before Christ

23. Grow Up and Graduate
 Stop living the old, immature life:
 Living in sin (Breaking commandments, hating, dishonoring
parents, lying, etc.)
 Walking in the flesh (Having addictions, inputting ungodly
entertainment, sexual immorality, etc.)
 Hanging around other people and places that encourage
us to do any of the above

24. Grow Up and Graduate
 Start being mature, disciplined and responsible:
 Living in holiness (Keeping commandments, loving, blessing
enemies, spreading G.N.A.C., etc.)
 Walking in the spirit (Read the Bible, pray, church, input Godly
entertainment, etc.)
 Hanging around other people and places that encourage
us to do all of the above

25. Grow Up and Graduate
 As Christians we are not supposed to be spiritual babies
forever but rather grow up
 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a
child, I reasoned like a child.When I became a man, I put
childish ways behind me.
 (1 Cor. 13:11)
 Don’t stay a big baby Christian! GROW UP!

26. Grow Up and Graduate
 The scripture writer told the Hebrews the same thing after
giving them details about the Gospel (again)
 (Hebrews 5:11-6:12)

27. 5) 11 There is much more we would like to say about this, but
it is difficult to explain, especially since you are spiritually
dull and don’t seem to listen. 12 You have been believers so
long now that you ought to be teaching others. Instead, you
need someone to teach you again the basic things about God’s
word.You are like babies who need milk and cannot eat solid
food. 13 For someone who lives on milk is still an infant and
doesn’t know how to do what is right. 14 Solid food is for those
who are mature, who through training have the skill to
recognize the difference between right and wrong.
6) 1 So let us stop going over the basic teachings about Christ
again and again. Let us go on instead and become mature in
our understanding. Surely we don’t need to start again with
the fundamental importance of repenting from evil deeds and
placing our faith in God. 2 You don’t need further instruction
about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the
dead, and eternal judgment. 3 And so, God willing, we will
move forward to further understanding.
 (Hebrews 5:11-6:3 NLT)

28. Grow Up and Graduate
 Life is a test, you get one chance to pass
 You can’t expect to pass with flying colors if you don’t study the
guide regularly (The Bible) and avoid anti-learning environments

29. Grow Up and Graduate
 Without studying you’ll fail the pop quizzes and practice tests.
 Don’t make it harder on yourself to graduate!
Recall Matthew 7:24-27. Those who hear Christ’s words and do them are wise and
build their house on solid rock. Rain, floods, wind come but it won’t collapse.
Foolish hear but don’t listen, building on sand and collapsing when trouble comes.

30. Grow Up and Graduate
 When will YOU break the routine, start reading
scripture daily, and stop falling to the same sins?
 Today is here, but “some day” may never come

31. Grow Up and Graduate
 If you don’t break the chain the chain may break you…

32. Grow Up and Graduate
 Christ wants you to grow up and graduate
 He provides you with
 a free scholarship (gift of salvation)
 office hours (prayer, available 24/7)
 a study guide (scripture)
 study groups (church, bible studies, and Godly fellowship)
 and has an inheritance waiting for you (Heaven!)
 Don’t miss out on Heaven for monkey bars
