Spiritual Development-DD 9/23/2010

"But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil." Heb 5:14

Beloved, Christianity is about growing and maturing. To be sure, we are all babes out of baptism that need to be feed milk from the bottle. There is so much to learn and so much to understand. But if years hence we are still on that milk rather than having advanced to strong meat, we would have become stunted in our growth and would have failed to live up to both our potential and our responsibilities. Imagine having to feed and diaper a 10 year old. We would regard them as having serious developmental problems.

Let us not exemplify these things in our Christian walk. We must leave the rudimentary elements of the basic faith and advance in our knowledge, understanding and practices. Surely we must crawl before we can walk, but we are called upon to eventually run.

In Revival,

Lee
