When I Was a Child...


Imagine it. You are sitting with your friends at the cafeteria. One friend pulls out a big juicy cheeseburger with everything on it. Your next friend unwraps a piece of supreme pizza with anchovies. Then you, not to be outdone, reach into your lunch bag and pull out... a small jar of whirled peas and a baby bottle full of milk. Not cool. Suddenly, your face turns red, and run out of the cafeteria screaming, "I want my woobie!"


Not very mature. I could be wrong, but I don't think that's going to win you any popularity points. I know, it may seem ridiculous, but I think that a great deal of the time, that's exactly what Christians do. We stay content with being an infant Christian. The writer of Hebrews says in the fifth chapter,
"But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil." On Sunday night we discussed the process of Christian maturity. Let's all make an effort to grow up in Christ Jesus!




Don't forget to be at church for the Souper Bowl of Caring and that night come to the Williams House for a Super Bowl Party. Wear your favorite team colors and bring some really smelly-breath food. See you Sunday.
