Maturity

We live in a day where diversity is part of our culture. No matter where you are from, we are challenged with accepting people based on our diverse cultures and paradigms. It has so become an issue that legislation is being created to protect people who have chosen diverse lifestyles. Change happens every day every minute. But there is one thing that will always remain the same. It's foundation is firm and unmoved, that is the Constitution of the Kingdom of Heaven, which we know as "The Bible".

What is amazing to me is that we never know, when we wake in the morning what new definitions we are going to be faced with. What I mean by this is that our culture in it's struggle to discover it's purpose and destiny, has a tendency to redefine terms and words that are already clearly defined. Because of this what was defined yesterday may not mean the same thing tomorrow. One example of this is the redefining of family. I just wanted to mention that to get you on track with that direction I am headed, but I am not going touch that subject right now. This is what I would like to discuss today. There are terms clearly defined by scripture, that no matter what earthly cultures try to define or redefine, they will never be changed in the country of Heaven.

The particular word that I would like to bring up this morning is the word "maturity". In the Book of Hebrews chapter 5 verses 7-14, the writer clearly define the word "maturity".
In his explanation of it, he says that those who eat "solid food" are the mature. He goes on to say that those who,"are not acquainted with the word of righteousness are still infants or (immature). He make it clear that the immature are not able to distinguish between good and evil.
What is amazing is that, when someone does not have the ability to distinguish between good and evil, they will probably always have to try to figure things out or continually be attempting to define something that is clearly defined. The lesson I want you to take away from this today is, Do not allow the immature society in which we live to keep you in an immature state. We need to allow the "Living Word", the "Bible", the "Constitution of the Kingdom of Heaven" to provide you with the definitions that are clearly defined and unchangeable. The definitions of the Bible are not conditional, they provide a sure foundation for everything created under in Heaven and under Heaven. Allow your paradigm to be structured by it, so that you do not remain immature trying to define what is good and evil.

Maturity is synonymous with righteousness this we will touch on in my later blogs.
