When I Became a Man

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.  1 Corinthians 13:11

Three things that characterize adults and children:

• Speaking
• Understanding
• Thinking

Note that the speaking, understanding and thinking of a man and a child are different.

Thought – the logical process of developing an opinion, to reason, to get to a place where I’m making an estimate of something based upon what I know

“A child’s information base is very limited.” – Pastor Billy Johnson

At some point there needs to be a transition from childhood to manhood.  At that point a transition of speaking, understanding and thinking takes place.

“To be a man and to speak well of men doesn’t mean you have to speak ill of women.”  – Pastor Billy Johnson
