The
eaglets were hungry, and Mom and Dad seemed to be ignoring them. The
oldest of the three decided to solve his hunger problem by gnawing on a
twig. Apparently it wasn’t too tasty, because he soon abandoned it.

By this time you ought to be teachers. —Hebrews 5:12 |
The author of
Hebrews spoke of a similar problem in the spiritual realm. Certain
people in the church were not growing in spiritual maturity. They had
not learned to distinguish between good and bad (Heb. 5:14). Like the
eaglet, they hadn’t learned the difference between a twig and a fish.
They still needed to be fed by someone else when they should have been
feeding not only themselves but others as well (v.12).
While
receiving spiritual food from preachers and teachers is good, spiritual
growth and survival also depend on knowing how to feed ourselves.
You’ve given us
Your Spirit, Lord,
To help us grow, mature, and learn,
To teach us from Your written Word,
So truth from error we’ll discern. —Sper
Spiritual growth requires the solid
food of God’s Word.

Al mismo tiempo, muchos cristianos rehúsan someterse a la exhortación bíblica tocante a ofrendar al Señor. Diezmar es un concepto del Antiguo Testamento. El diezmo era un requisito de la ley en la cual todos los Israelitas ofrendaban al tabernáculo / templo el 10% de todo lo que ganaban y hacían crecer ( Levítico 27:30; Números 18:26; Deuteronomio 14:23; 2 Crónicas 31:5 ). El Nuevo Testamento en ninguna parte ordena, o aún recomienda que los cristianos se sometan a un sistema legalista de diezmar. Pablo declara que los creyentes deberían apartar una porción de sus ingresos a fin de dar soporte a la iglesia ( 1 Corintios 16:1-2 ). El Nuevo Testamento en ningún lugar señala un cierto porcent...
