As you study the scriptures, most of them become obvious. But there's one that most Christians still haven't noticed.
The enemy would love for it to stay hidden because it stunts our progress significantly.
We know there's a problem. And we've done our best to solve it. But it persists because we are not addressing the root.
I'll never forget when the Holy Spirit revealed it to me. I was walking through the kids ministry rooms one Sunday after church, and He so clearly said, "Why do you do kids ministry this way?"
I tried to come up with a Biblical answer, and there wasn't one. The only reply left was, "Because this is what other churches do. This is what's expected of churches in America."
As you can imagine, that answer is not pleasing to the Lord. It exposes that the fear of man had crept into the church.
This sent me on a Biblical hunt to discover that God doesn't want us separated by age. The babies, kids, adults, and elderly are all to grow in God together.
The rebuttal to this is that each age needs it in a way they can understand. But that's the way of the world, not God.
Turns out, we actually stunt our growth when we're separated from those younger and older than us. The separation is a hindrance, not a help.
