Hebrews 5:12-14
For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food.
For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe.
But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Hebrews 5:12-14
Have the greatest Tuesday!

…and I always like to draw attention to the phrases “reason of use” and “senses exercised” in this passage. Maturity isn’t merely a matter of time passing – it’s a matter of time spent. Don’t let the Word of God lay dormant!
