There was a conference at church last week. My college age son loved the speaker the first night, but had a hard time understanding the speaker the second night.

I told him the speaker the first night served milk; the second speaker served meat. It was something you had to chew on.

1 Corinthians 3:2, “I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not yet strong enough [to be ready for it]; but even yet you are not strong enough [to be ready for it].”

We all like the sermons that are sweet and slide down easy like milk. But we need the sermons that are full of meat.

You process those sermons the same way you eat a steak:

  1. Take notes, so you can cut it into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Take one small piece and chew on it until you understand it.
  3. Savor the good things of God in it.
  4. Swallow it so it becomes a part of you.
  5. Repeat.

What verse impressed you?

About admin

I grew up on Elim Bible Institute, Lima NY and Pinecrest Bible Training Center (Now called Bethany Bible Training Center), Salisbury Center, NY, where my father, Charlie Cary, was the maintenance man. When we moved back to Iowa, (12), I joined the "Gospel Lighthouse Telecast" choir, a local weekly program sponsored by the Gospel Lighthouse in Batavia. I have read the Bible through, every year, since I was 13. I became the church janitor when I was 16 and played piano for services. I moved to Fairfield and started playing the piano, when I was 18, at the Fairfield Foursquare Church. I married David Fishel there when I was 20. At 21, I became secretary/treasurer and served for 24 years, stepping down due to a health issue that restricts me to my home. My husband now attends a new satellite church of Faith Christian Outreach Center, Mt. Pleasant, where our youngest son is the drummer. We have three grown children and one grandchild.
