That is a long section but to me it is an eye opener. Am I willing to open God’s word and mature, or do I just do enough to get by? Do I sit in church listening to the pastor but get offended when he shares biblical truth. We need to be growing and doing, what is keeping us from maturing in our faith? Are we joyfully giving to God what is already His, or are we drinking milk on that subject? Are we serving Him with joy, or are we too busy for Him? Are we using our talents to spread the Good News with joy, or are we still drinking milk? We are called to move not stand still. We are called to be different and be a light, and that takes us maturing and asking God to show us more and more. It is not the pastor’s job to move us, we need to open up and let God show us what is right and wrong. We need to be willing to change to be fully devoted to Jesus Christ, not because someone has told us to, but because we desire to. Lets all work on growing and moving from milk to solid food Amen
Hebrews 5:11-14 “There is much more we would like to say about this, but it is difficult to explain, especially since you are spiritually dull and don’t seem to listen. You have been believers so long now that you ought to be teaching others. Instead, you need someone to teach you again the basic things about God’s word. You are like babies who need milk and cannot eat solid food. For someone who lives on milk is still an infant and doesn’t know how to do what is right. Solid food is for those who are mature, who through training have the skill to recognize the difference between right and wrong.”

I think the greatest adventure in life is accepting Jesus and then letting the Holy Spirit do His work. If we give in and give our life to Christ, our life changes as we read His Word and give in to what the Spirit is guiding us to do. If we do what the Spirit tells us, we start to change and the things God wants us to do becomes more important than what we think we want to do. I would not want to be without Jesus, no matter what.

I think Christians have a hard time comprehending that God sent the Holy Spirit to live in us so that we would use this as our guide through life. After reading today's blog, the first word that comes to mind is totally TRUSTING God. When you do that, you do MATURE in Christ and have the DESIRE to be his Light.
