maturity

I like this picture posted by David Rudd for a number of reasons.

Maturity%2Bbased%2Bdiscipleship%2Bstuff2
I have seen far too many communities celebrate their perceived success in the Men's Group, Women's Group, etc. bubble. While I think these things can be successful most of these communities failed to see them for what they are. They cater to the immature. If they become vehicles to help someone move toward maturity, great. But too often activities at that level have become the goal. Churches bragging about how big these groups are is wrong. I think it is more about the number of people joining and the number moving onto something deeper, that would be great.

But that's not what I've seen.
