Meat & Greet: Eat Meat

“Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.”
Hebrews 5:13-14
The words from the writer of Hebrews are very similar to those in 1 Corinthians 3:1-3 where Paul says, “Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual, but as worldly—as infants in Christ. I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for solid food. In fact, you are still not ready, for you are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and dissension among you, are you not worldly? Are you not walking in the way of man?”
Both sets of verses provide emphasis for Christian men to eat spiritual meat, which is to say to work towards understanding the things of the Spirit and towards walking in the Spirit as opposed to living and acting like carnal (worldly) men. This is a process, but in the end, mature spiritual men are selfless and supportive of other Christian men, their families, and their ministries. On July 23, we will do just that, i.e. we will fellowship with and pray for our brothers in Christ, all while we learn of their efforts, breakthroughs, struggles and prayer requests and hear how we can collaborate as brothers in Christ and see what God does when we are united in brotherhood. Come and join us. Come alone, bring a friend, or bring your entire men’s group. Men of all stages of development (milk or meat eaters) are welcome and desired, i.e. there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus, only learning and growing, loving and serving, and battling Satan together for the sake of the Lost.
$10 recommended to cover plate cost but no Christian man turned away. RSVP by noon on April 10th so that we will have a meal for you or your group. RSVP by calling Tim Smith at 706.424.1171 or by sending an email to info@hardmanroad.org. We are looking forward to fellowshipping with you. May God bless you in the meantime.
