Discussion: Maturity (2 of 2)

Have you noticed that there are a lot of people who value or celebrate a lack of self control?

(Movies & Extreme/Reality Shows like “Jack*ss”, BigBrother or Cartoons like “SouthPark”)

Do you know people who want to act like children for the rest of their lives?

(Like Disney’s Peter Pan character or The lyrics to the Toys ® Us’s Theme Song)

Could it be that we simply do not have many adult role models we want to emulate?

Let’s read a verse from the Bible:

“It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers,

to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up

until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves,
