I learned to feed myself as a toddler...

There are many Christians who blame pastors and churches for not getting fed. Or they blame them for leading them astray and putting their own twist on the Word. Well, I learned to feed myself as a toddler. The church is a place for fellowship and a pastor is for leading and watching over. It is still OUR own, individual responsibility to hear from God and meditate on the Word outside of the church. Spiritual immaturity puts this responsibility on the pastor to feed you. When you are a baby Christian in faith, this works. But as you grow, you have to learn to also get fed on your own by spending time with God and in the Word.
