Milk vs Meat for the Christian

 A few weeks ago Pastor talked about Milk vs Meat for the Christian, Milk for the baby Christian and Meat for the mature Christian. For me this subject hits close to home. More than a decade ago I started to intensely study the Bible with the Koinonia-Institute, an online Christian Think Tank. Here we examine the Bible verse by verse plus related verses. As the brilliance Dr. Chuck Missler oftentimes remarked, "The Bible is a hologram."

Under the unique teachings of Dr. Missler I more or less graduated from Milk to Meat. I was flexing my Christian Meat muscles and then I hit a dry spell. Marketing at Koinonia-Institute changes plus the passing of Dr. Messler, well I let my studies go.

My faith never faltered but was I drifting back to Milk? Was I regressing to need Peter 2:2, “As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word that ye may grow thereby:”

No, I'm still clinging to the Meat of the Word.

I felt like The Apostle Paul was talking to me through the centuries when he called the Hebrews immature, backward, untaught, and dull of hearing. Paul expected far more of the maturing/ mature believer who should not only seek the Meat of the Word, rather should teach the Word.

The Apostle Paul said it even more harshly, "Hebrews 5:11-14, “Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that useth Milk is unskilful 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.”

I'm responsible to God in the sure knowledge of John 14:6, "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." The study of God's Word is a commitment I've made for the remainder of my earthly incarnation. After that I hope to hear from the Master Himself.
