PUT ON YOUR TEETHS OLD MEN OF GOD! AND BABIES GROW UP!

For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.Hebrew 5:12 

ARE YOU A BABE IN THE FAITH OR TOOTHLESS OLD MEN STRANDED WITHOUT LOVE?

“…I’ve heard newborn babies wailing like a mourning dove
And old men with broken teeth stranded without love
Do I understand your question man is it hopeless and forlorn…”
-Bob Dylan, Shelter from the Storm

There is nothing wrong with being a babe. Babes are cute and nice to tease and hug!

And becoming old is also part of life. And being old and experienced and full of wisdom would be a desirable path for all of us pilgrims on earth.

As in the physical life so it is in our spiritual life. We were once babe and matures toward maturity. But there is something wrong with our growth if despite 20 years in the faith we are still a babe. And there is something wrong with us if after growing old in the faith, we become ineffective spiritually ala King Solomon who when he became old strayed from His Faith-His Wisdom. He lost his LOVE for God and his Love for his fellowmen-taxing them with heavy burdens to maintain his “filthy rich” lifestyle! Jesus told us” we are the salt of the earth”…When salt grow old, do they lost their saltiness? Do they bite no more because they lost their teeth and got no more love?

When you are a babe you donot really know what true love is, that is understandable. But if you are old in the faith and still do not have the Love of God-you still cannot discern well the right from the wrong, then you got not teeth-you saltiness is in question? Your old and matured you say, but do you care for the millions of sisters destined for spintershood? Do you care for the millions of your brothers and neighbors and children affected by the Big Big Lie on Marriage and family? If you do not care for them better is a babe in the faith than you. Our Lord Jesus tells you:

Matthew 25:45 And the King shall answer and say to them, Truly I say to you, Inasmuch as you have done it to one of the least of these my brothers, you have done it to me.
