Recently, my wife and I took our 9-month-old son to the doctor for his routine check-up. During our visit the Doc told us it was time to begin weaning him off the bottle so that by the time he was 12 months he would be totally dependant on regular foods. In other words, he was maturing beyond just being an infant and at a place where he could handle more mature feedings. Even though there is some sadness and emotion attached to the fact our little baby is growing up, this is also a good thing! It is good in that our son is developing and maturing the way it was meant to be.

Similarly, God has called us to do the same in our spiritual lives. God desires for us to mature and move beyond the infant stage of our spiritual journey where all we can digest is milk.

In 1 Corinthians 3:2-3, the Apostle Paul refers to the church in Corinth as being mere infants. This reference to infancy correlates to their unwillingness to move beyond worldly living to spiritual living directed by Christ.

Where are you at is this journey? Have you moved beyond infancy in your own spiritual development? It is our desire that this website will help move you towards maturity in Christ by helping you Know, to Follow, and to Give to His calling.
