But I, brothers, could not address you as spiritual people, but as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready, for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way? (1 Corinthians 3:1-3 ESV)
Some believers never seem to grow up. They know the basics of the faith; they have the Holy Spirit within, but they refuse to grow, and it shows. This, indeed is the preacher's saddest remorse - to see someone with great spiritual potential not feed the Spirit with the Word of God and grow, choosing to remain immature, self-centered and complacent in the faith. This is not God's will for us in Christ Jesus. May we be truly spiritual followers of Christ.
