The body without is Spirit is DEAD! Anytime you have no sign of emotion,
I would be concerned. There is a time for being emotional and there is a
time to sit and listen when the Word of God is being served up in a good
meal of "Bible" study. There is also that time of just being still and knowing
that He is God.
It could be that when you have a congregation
that all they do
is run and jump and make a lot of noise and never have time for eating
the good Word of God, could be just a day-care center. Children at play.
When I was in elementary school, there was time for studying and a time
for recess, lunchtime and study hall time, etc. We were disciplined to obey
the rules and to learn to observe the time. Is it recess time or time to have
class or study hall, etc. Eccles. 3:1, tells us that "To every thing there is a
season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: (the next several
verses tells us of the times. Then we read that "HE hath made everything
beautiful in HIS time". In time we SHOULD grow up (mature) in Him.
Paul said that when he was a child, he spake as a child, he understood as
a child, he thought as a child: but when he
became a man (grew up, matured,)
he put away childish things.
There is some distance between being a child and becoming a man. Coming
to maturity. There is a process in between. Some never grow up.
Just some thoughts, no offense intended.
