Three points of immaturity

In Hebrews 5:11 and following we find three points that indicate immaturity:

1. Dull in your spiritual hearing and sluggish, even slothful in achieving spiritual insight as found
in the Amp Ver. James 1:19 says, "Understand this my beloved brethren. Let every man be
quick to hear, a ready listener...." It is quite a shame to not be able to hear what the Lord
is saying. Are we seeking to hear what God is saying day by day?

2. The inability to share the word. Hebrews 5:12 speaks of those who should be teaching others
still need to be taught themselves. Hearing the word and doing it, insures growth in our
lives.

3. Poor diet. Hebrews 5:12 in KJV says in the latter part of the verse, "and are become such as
have need of milk, and not strong meat." Verse 13 & 14 continues by saying "For every one
that useth milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat
belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses
exercised to discern both good and evil." We need to put the milk glass down and eat the
meat of God's word. Growing up, or maturing if you will, is sure hard on us all, but vitally
important.
