Actuality is definitely a word. It doesn't make for the most grammatically pleasing sentences, however. I think Jonesy will back me up on this.

I guess I see that preacher's point. There isn't some plateau or point we reach as Christians where "we're there" in terms of maturity. It's always a work in progress. But to say there aren't any mature Christians seems to be missing the author's point in Hebrews 5:12-6:3. It seems to me that the I'll-never-be-mature attitude is pervasive and leads to a lot of spoon and breast-feeding (if you will) of the church, which promotes zero growth. And I also think there's a lot of confusion behind the word "maturity." No two people would define it the same, I'll bet.

But you're right. There's always more snow to be plowed, as it were.

I'm backing you up on hopping back into the Scriptures. Well, nonagon will be awaiting your return if you come back at all this Spring or Summer.

fine post. I've been feeling the same thing lately, how it seems like I keep going back to square one but with just more to work with, scripture wise.

One extra thing: I highly, highly recommend everyone check out the Louie Giglio message on iTunes. It's so good. I think if you search "Passion Band" as the artist and look for "Passion '05 - Live EP", you should be able to find it. It's 2.50 for the message and 2 live songs. I just listened to the message this morning on the way to school and before class. It seems very applicable to what your post is about. I think everyone else would benefit too.
