Leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection.
Hebrews 6:1
The writer to the Hebrews long ago pointed out that some professed Christians were marking time and getting nowhere! They had had opportunity to grow—but they had not grown. They had had sufficient time to mature, yet they were still babes. Unfortunatly this is becoming a more and more common practice in our "Christianity" today.
It is possible to have motion without progress, and this describes much of the activity among Christians today. It boils down to this—it is possible that we may attend church for a lifetime and be no better for it. I think we can say that most Christians have no clear end toward which they are striving.
A Christian cannot hope for the true manifestation of God while he lives in a state of disobedience.The obedient Christian will yield to God as the clay yields to the potter and will welcome every moment in church.
Help us not to become satisfied with laziness, or complacent with growth. We need ever more to determine we are going to surrender ourselves to the potters wheel.
