This morning, I went to Santa Cruz to worship. It was a very good message and it struck a chord. His message focused on Christian growth. He asked who had been recently baptized. One lady stood and said she was baptized just a few weeks ago.
He read from Hebrews 5:12----In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God's word all over again. You need milk, not solid food.
When people are baptized and become Christians, the growth process begins. People do not understand Bibical truths over night. It takes time. A new Christian will grow, if the desire is there. It is very simple. If there is no spiritual intake, the growth will not take place.
People usually become Christians when they realize that their sins have separated them from God. Because of God's love, and the gift of Christ's death we can still have a relationship with God. As we grow, we have understanding on a different level.
Without spiritual food or hearing The Word, we can not grow. We will become weak and our Spiritual life will fail. It is something that we need to think about on a daily basis. Do not be fooled. Satan is alive and will take any opportunity that is available to him to cause us to stumble. Nothing pleases him more for us to become stagnant and not grow.
Just something for us to think about during this week.
