The main thing is the main thing


Yes, milk is good, but there is more. Too many Christians live on a diet of milk. They spit up, if you give them solid food.

1Co 3:1 But I, brothers, could not address you as spiritual people, but as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ.
1Co 3:2 I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready,

I like meat in the diet, but I still drink milk. Even gristle has a lot of flavor if chewed on long enough. I have been chewing on some items in the Bible for multiple years, eventually they begin to taste good. Learning doctrine and who God is worth it. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

Heb 5:12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food,
Heb 5:13 for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child.
Heb 5:14 But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.

Amen!

I teach SS to an older group of Christians; and used to hold a Small Group meeting in my home.

What I've found; over the years; is that it's easier to teach what is in the bible, than to UNTEACH what isn't!
