Losers: Faith Babies Who Don’t Grow Up
Everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the Word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Hebrews 5:13-14 (NKJV)
Some adult Christians, who’ve believed for years… are no more and no less than faith “children” – stuck in perpetual adolescence.
No more, as in not yet “seasoned” Christians: unable to discern good from evil; unable to fight the good fight of faith.
No less than precious children to Jesus, who need loving, spiritual guidance. They lack seasoned saints to lead and teach them.
I confess my concern over churches and pastors that don’t disciple their congregations. Some seem content to feed their congregants sweet “bits” of Scripture, without solid “Food”.
The losers may not be the babes, themselves. If they truly love Jesus, I believe they’ll end up in Heaven… nevertheless.
But if they don’t thoroughly know the Word, they may not recognize the devil’s ploys, fall victim to sly manipulation and/or quit their calling when it gets hard. (More losers are people they could have helped. Babies aren’t spiritual warriors.)
Actors, models, and talents for Christ:
I’m thankful for your spiritual depth. God has given you wisdom AND courage. But you still have more growing up to do. So…
Make Bible time a disciplined habit. When you pray, listen to God for answers.
Make sure your pastor “resembles” Jesus, and serves a full menu of “solid food.”
Your maturity (regardless of age) is a spiritual necessity.

NOTE: God is my Ghostwriter. If what I write is good, it’s from God. You may see notes to 'Actors, Models & Talent for Christ.' If you think you're not in show business, think again. Shakespeare said, 'All the world's a stage and all its men and women merely players.’ Mostly true. But you're not merely players. You are messengers and ambassadors for the King of kings.
