By this time, you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. (Hebrews 5:12–14, NIV 1984).
My Musings – The cravings of “pure spiritual milk” should inevitably lead to a more mature diet of spiritual “feeding.” We are not “born again” to remain spiritual infants.
My Advice – “Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity.” (Hebrews 6:1a, NIV 1984). Continual “laying again the foundation,” (Hebrews 6:1b, NIV 1984), and not building the rest of the “house” leaves one little protected from “the rain [coming] down, the streams [rising], and the winds ‘blowing.” Matthew 7:25, NIV 1984). Laying a solid foundation is “wise,” but stopping the building once it is laid is “foolish.”
