Immaturity Problems
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
I talk to you as spiritual,
Although being infants of Christ;
Rather you in being carnal,
Because you are worldly enticed.
I fed you milk rather than meat,
Since you are not ready for it;
You crawl not standing on your feet,
Not worthy with any merit.
You still have jealousy and strife,
And walking as a carnal man;
Living a human way of life,
No regard for God and His plan.
A certain preacher you follow,
Merely human then as you are;
Is one preacher as more hallow,
Glory shines as a superstar.
We plant a church, but God gives growth,
The preacher waters but God grows;
As the pastor commits by oath,
Adhering to what the Word shows.
He who plants and waters are one,
Each receives his wage for labor;
Accomplishing what has been done,
When professing to their neighbor.
We are fellow workers of God,
The farmer that works in His field;
Gathering to honor and laud,
Into His building for His yield.
