You are like babies who need milk and cannot eat solid food (Hebrews 5:12; NLT).
Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity (Hebrews 6:1; NIV).
Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ (Ephesians 4:15; NLT).
Let us go on instead and become mature in our understanding (Hebrews 6:1; NLT).
Let us press on to know the LORD (Hosea 6:3; ESV).
Lord,
When we cling to
Our elementary teachings
And beliefs,
Keeping them unquestioned
And unchallenged
For too long,
We arrest our spiritual development,
Preventing ourselves
From pressing on
To develop
A more mature relationship
With you.
