12 You have been believers so long now that you ought to be teaching others. Instead, you need someone to teach you again the basic things about God’s word. You are like babies who need milk and cannot eat solid food.13 For someone who lives on milk is still an infant and doesn’t know how to do what is right.14 Solid food is for those who are mature, who through training have the skill to recognize the difference between right and wrong.
MATURING SPIRITUALLY
Carpools. Homework. Sports. Dance lessons. Our day is crammed with activities as we strive to meet the demands of parenting. But sometimes in all this activity we lose sight of the most important ingredient for godly parenting — nurturing our relationship with the living God. Are you growing spiritually, or have you let everyday activities crowd out time for God? The greatest gift we can give our kids is the example of a deep relationship with God and a desire to know His truth. The "solid food" of spiritual maturity will overflow into our parenting as we tap into God's wisdom.
Grow in spiritual maturity by making it a priority to spend time with God.
