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

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.

No que lo haya alcanzado ya, ni que ya sea perfecto; sino que prosigo, por ver si logro asir aquello para lo cual fui también asido por Cristo Jesús. Hermanos, yo mismo no pretendo haberlo ya alcanzado; pero una cosa hago: olvidando ciertamente lo que queda atrás, y extendiéndome a lo que está delante, prosigo a la meta, al premio del supremo llamamiento de Dios en Cristo Jesús. (Filipenses 3:12-14) No necesitamos quedarnos estancados en el pasado. En Cristo, tenemos una nueva oportunidad cada día. Lo más importante es seguir avanzando, manteniendo siempre la mirada fija en el objetivo, que es n...
