Conversely, how common is it for church members of non-denominational and seeker-churches to begin yearning for more spiritual meat?
"Spiritual meat" means small group Beth Moore fill-in-the-blank workbook studies, right?
Yes, "spiritual meat" means the Bible as instruction book. Or as I heard Cashflow Dollar say today, "You get no blessing from tithing, but you do get blessing from first-fruits giving." Now that's some fine spiritual meat. Argghhhh!!
