I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able, for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking like mere men? I Corinthians 3:2-3
Doctors can usually determine why some children never grow up. It may be improper nourishment, or some disease in their body that stops proper growth. The same kind of thing can happen to spiritual babes as well. When babes never grow, never get off the milk and on to the meat, growth in stunted. Additionally, when the sinful nature is fed by jealousy and strife, trouble follows. Let's feed our soul with the word of God, and seek spiritual surgery to remove the diseases that kill us. When we do, our walk in the Spirit can be filled with joy.
