For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food, for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child. But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.
(Hebrews 5:12-14 ESV)
Mike Hubbard brings these verses to our modern day church culture when he says:
"We really have a church culture . . . of people, who, the mindset is 'I'm gonna come sit on Sunday and I'm gonna listen someone bottle feed me and then we'll go on with our lives and that'll be enough for the week."
He counters this with stirring and challenging words:
"We really have to reach a point where we're not reliant on others . . . You have to come to the point where YOU rightly handle the Word of Truth."
