Devot. Milk or Meat

Dear Friends,

I hope you had a nice long weekend with family this past Labor Day weekend!

 

The devot. for today comes from a Bible verse, given in the devot.  For folks who are new Christians, the term "Babes" or babies in Christ is used.  For Christians who have trusted Christ years ago, but have spiritually matured, they are mature Christians.

 

The devot. here is explaining that as human babies can only drink milk (we don't expect them to eat a steak!), new Christians can only spiritually handle simple things from the Word of God.

But just as human babies mature and add in solid foods, new Christians should mature as well and learn to 'dig into' the  "meat" of the Word of God and be learning more complex spiritual truths (we will learn in later devots. practical ways of  how to go about that in truly Bible based ways).

I pray the devot. teaches you something new and yet I also encourage you ask yourself if you are still in the 'baby stages' of your  everyday walk with Jesus or have you/are you maturing?  

 

Also if you haven't had a chance to sign the petition calling for fellow Believer's Asia's release from death row and mandatory hanging, please do so this week!   

Lord bless you and your this weekend!   Petition and devot. below
