What stage in maturity are you in?
Each is necessary, but only for seasons in each individual.
First stage is the Baby stage. You can only digest the milk of the Bible. So you open in John and start learning about Jesus. But it is a crime for a christian to stay a baby for years. Lets open the word and study!!!
The next stage is young men. Young men are the ones who can say they have overcome evil. No longer milk bottles, but mighty battles.
Last stage, is fathers. Father does not mean a male, or an old person, in this context. It means in maturity. Father's are known for having children... Are you reproducing? Have you led people to Christ and raised them? Do you have grand children? Where the people you led to Christ have led others to Christ?! This is the goal!!
A church that has just fathers is not a healthy, amazing church. That would mean our church was not leading more to Christ. Let's meet everyone where we are at as Christians, and disciple them to grow. And in turn, you yourself will grow from it!
