We must no longer be children, tossed to and fro
and blown about by every wind of doctrine,
by people’s trickery, by their craftiness in deceitful scheming.
But speaking the truth in love,
we must grow up in every way into him who is the head,
into Christ.
(Ephesians 4:14-15)
As a child, I thought grown-up life would have these values – “speaking the truth in love” as well as growing more Christlike. Now I am an adult and I don’t see them around. The values are spoken about but the behaviors tell a different story.
