Don’t Skip School This Year

Well, it’s hardly the weather for it now in Western New York but I can dream of summertime and grilling steaks can’t I?

Speaking of steak – that is not something you would serve to a newborn.

On the same hand, neither would you expect to puree everything you grill so that adults could enjoy it.

Listen to the words of Paul in I Corinthians 3:2

“I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it.

Indeed, you are still not ready.”

Paul was certainly capable of serving up the ‘meat’ of the word.

But sadly, the Church at Corinth would have not been able to digest it.

He had to deal with many issues in that local church not the least of which were caused by their immaturity.

It was not an immaturity they could blame on their teacher either.

How about us?

Are we growing and maturing as a church?

Putting more personally, are you growing and maturing as a follower of Christ?

Does His word dwell more richly in you today than it did a year ago.

This is the time many self-examine and create resolutions for their growth.

But those resolutions don’t often last very long.

Instead, why not daily lean on the Holy Spirit and the Word of God to grow in your walk with the Lord.

He has given us what we need for growth.

Don’t skip the ‘school of the Spirit’ this year.

I hear He may be serving steak for lunch!
