A hodgepodge of maturity

August 30th, 2010 by Donald Wickham

One of my mentors, one who has had a huge impact on my spiritual health and growth is Daniel Brown.  He has been on a round-the-world trip and has been blogging.  The following is an excerpt from a recent blog.  I commend it to you.

I felt very much like Paul must’ve felt. So many things in my heart, and yet I needed to lay a simple foundation. This is one of the dilemmas that pastors face in many countries — including our own. Overall, the lack of substantial and sustained teaching creates a hodgepodge of maturity levels among Christians. Where does the pastor begin? What basics need to be taught, in order to teach things that lead to greater maturity? Frankly, many pastors/teachers lack a systematic understanding of how the building blocks of the word of God fit together. This makes it extremely difficult to teach people in a sustained, coherent manner.
