Have you ever known anyone that just can't seem to get life right? They always seem to make the wrong decision and just can't grow up. As this passage explains, they are tossed back and forth, never able to get rooted in and stand their ground.
As Christians we should constantly be working together, as one body, to mature into who we are called to be in Christ. If you think you may be on your way to being tossed around, I hope this passage with encourage you to plant your feet firmly into a faith in Christ and all that entails.
Ephesians 4:14-16
14Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming. 15Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. 16From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.
