All in Maturing in Faith

There are those who profess a faith in Jesus Christ, and refer to themselves as Christians, and yet they live out their lives torn between heaven and earth by trying to be guided by the Spirit while allowing the world to influence them at the same moment. These infants in Christ have not come to grips with what a true life in Christ should look like. Perhaps, if we look at ourselves honestly, we too are like this in some way? We strive in the Spirit, and yet continue dragging our old life behind us like an anchor... an umbilical cord to the world.
