getting down to the meat of doctrine

1 Peter 2:2

Spiritual milk...untainted and pure...is good for the soul. Basic doctrine has its perks when you are new to this relationship with God. The Omniscient God has encapsulated His essence, character and thinking into bite-sized doctrine for our daily consumption. As new born babes NEED milk, spiritually new born babes also NEED spiritual milk. But as we grow, and develop spiritual molars and incisors...our doctrinal appetite tend to lean towards something heavy. Milk becomes kid stuff. It's still part of our diet...but is not considered as the main course.

That's how we Christians should view our spiritual diet...take in some meat for kingdom sake! The spiritual life should be progressive...every moment of our existence should be dedicated in learning and applying Biblical Truths! You'll die a miserable life on earth if you forsake your Spiritual Health! 3 John 1:2 states that our health and prosperity in life depends on how we take care of our soul. Physical strength does not sustain Spiritual health...it's the other way around!

So...since it's a Sunday Morning (If you read this minutes after I post it)...FEED YOUR SOUL! How can you wear the armor of God and be in full combat alertness if you can't even lift your spiritual limbs! Hey...hey...hey...stop wasting time and GET DOWN TO THE MEAT OF DOCTRINE!
