Growth
Illustration★★★★Some say that just as hospitals minister to sick people, and schools
to ignorant people, the Church ministers to sinful people.
Consequently, we should not set too high a standard for our
Church members. But sick people are expected to get well, and
ignorant people are supposed to /earn, and Christians should grow
and become better. There is no excuse for us to stay babes on milk
when we should mature and feed on the Bread of Life.
— Hawvner
The point
An illustration comparing Church members to patients and students, emphasizing that all should expect to grow in their faith, not remain immature.
