Becoming Complete, The Learning Process:
Maturity is not measured by
our awareness of truth
Maturity is reached when the truth is
our habit, our custom, our obsession, our addiction –
our every action.
3. The Path For Becoming Complete
The Laws of Learning
Edward Thorndike
1874-1949
1. The Law of Readiness20a My son, pay attention to what I say;
Are you ready and willing to learn from God?
Do you want success?
Do you want to do the right good thing
Proverbs 3:1,2 My son, do not forget my teaching, but
keep my
commands in your heart,
for they will prolong your life
many years and bring you prosperity.
2. The Law of Truth
20b listen closely to my words.
Mt 22:29 Jesus replied, “You are in error because
you do not know the Scriptures or the power of
God.”
Mt 4:4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man does not
live on bread alone,
but on every word that comes
from the mouth of God.’”
Get it right the first time. UNlearning is a huge
burden.
3. The Law of Practice(Repetition) (Sticky Truth)
21a Do not let them out of your sight;
Meditate day and night. Practice it over
and over. Drill it into our head so it gets
to our heart.
Psalm 1:2 But his delight
is in the law of the LORD, and
on his law he meditates day and night.
4. The Law of Impact
21b keep them within your heart
“Treasure the words of God in the Center of
Action (heart) in your life.”
Expect things to happen from your learning
Keep your eye on putting
the learning to use.
Psalm 119:11 Your word I have
treasured in my heart, that I may not
sin against You.

5. Law of Progress
22 for they are life to those who find them
and health to a man’s whole body.
Let the fruit of your leaning be evident
Psalm 1:3 He is like a tree planted by
streams of water, which yields
its fruit in season and
whose leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers.
