I gave you milk to drink, not solid food, since you were not yet ready for it. In fact, you are still not ready, because you are still worldly. For since there is envy and strife among you, are you not worldly and behaving like mere humans? For whenever someone says, "I belong to Paul", and another, "I belong to Apollos", are you not acting like mere humans?

1 Corinthians 3:2-4 CSB

Paul is quite humerous here, and gives quite the telling off. 

He's just told the church that as Christians we have the mind of Christ, God's Spirit indwelling, yet they're still acting like spiritual babies.

What's the evidence?

Envy

Strife

Arguing over which pastor is more important.

What colour the church foyer should be.

The people Paul was writing to were focussing on the wrong things. I wonder what Paul would write to us about today?

Paul doesn't want us caught up in this stuff because he (& our God) has so much more for us. 

Often it takes someone a little bit removed to see and comment...when we were young parents we asked others what they saw in our parenting that we were missing. I haven't done that since. 

Could we be brave enough to ask a trusted person what area of our lives we're still on baby food?
