JUST GETTING FAT? By Juan Carlos Orte
We have a phenomenon in the church today which I call “eternal babyhood of the believer.”
We have members of our churches who after years of hearing messages are just the same as always.
They continually need a minister to keep after them, changing their diapers, putting talcum powder on them, Checking that their milk is not too hot. The church seems more like a hospital than an army.
Sometimes we fool ourselves because we grow numerically. We seem to think that is growth.
But to grow in numbers alone may not be spiritual growth. Cemeteries also grow numerically.
To have a 100 people without love, then to have 200 people without love is just getting fat…
