Developing a Mature Spiritual Appetite
'Ready Answer' by David F. MaasMany of us, over time, have seemingly lost our appetite for solid spiritual food, finding ourselves in a state of spiritual starvation where we need to be fed intravenously. If Sabbath services were the only times we were spiritually nourished, we would eventually starve to death. After the belief system was altered in our prior fellowship, people started to lose the vision of their purpose for existence and eventually lost their capacity to endure solid food. At several points in the early 1990s, it became apparent that we were starving to death spiritually, as many had not stored up spiritual preserves to tide them through difficult times. We had the experience of realizing we were starving, desperately devouring tapes and articles to reactivate the faith once delivered. We dare not allow ourselves to let our guard down again, as having resources is not the same as using and assimilating them to combat spiritual starvation.
