Spiritual Maturity
Hebrews 5:12-14 “You need milk, not solid food,for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child.

Too Lazy to Learn?
Hebrews 5:11 “About this we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.” Sometimes I wonder what it must have been like for Jesus, Who is omniscient, to speak to people that weren’t interested enough to listen to what He was saying. So much of what He…
