Are You Ready?

When the man or woman of God preaches the Word, he or she must craft the message, as led by the Spirit, to an audience with a broad range of maturity. In 1 Corinthians 3:2-3, Paul writes "I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere men?" Paul wanted to teach the word as God had given him, but as most pastors today, he realized that they were simply not ready for the word. Consider the new level of liberty, joy, peace, and so many other benefits of the word that you may be missing out on simply because you are not ready.
