May 3, 2009: All Grown Up – Michael Hidalgo

Why does Paul want people to become mature in Christ? What does this mean exactly. So often we see people who are “all grown up” and let’s just be honest, it looks boring, tiring, and much too routine to be something, that as Paul says, “I strenuously contend.” Besides, does Paul really think that there is an end in sight? When is someone “mature”? It seems as if he is speaking of a destination, a final point, not a journey.
