This is the only time during this series – during our time of 'growing up' together - that I’m taking us into the Old Testament. Obviously, the New Testament is more direct and explicit in its treatment of maturity in CHRISTIAN faith, but I couldn’t miss this opportunity to turn our attention to a famous yet flippantly used proverb.
Like a bumper sticker or “Get Well Soon” card, iron sharpens iron can be an empowering statement used meekly. We can throw it out there to sound supportive or more invested in someone else’s faith than we know we are. It offers the appearance of deliberately being in this together, with steely intent and refinement … but are we? Really? Do we care about the forging of others?
QUESTION: Who is a person in your life that could become an “iron sharpens iron” brother or sister in Christ?

A lot of emphasis is placed upon making the leap from childhood into adulthood. At some point, it’s going to seem weird or juvenile if we haven’t “grown up”. The Christian faith shares this element of maturing and developing. A steady yet sometimes overlooked part of our Christian faith is “growing up” – and it’s not just a solo pursuit. Christians are called to help each other in maturity.
