How do you deal with another Christian when they’re behaving like an immature, irresponsible child? Learn how to deal with spiritual babes (of all ages) on today’s Front Porch Friday!
Your sister,
How have other Christians encouraged and supported you when you were fainthearted (immature) and weak in your faith? Who has God used to support you as you’ve grown in your walk with Him? Thanks for sharing your stories!

My grannie held onto me by prayer, admonishment with love, example, & with “much” encouragement!! But I know she gave me to God every single day, knowing, that it would ultimately be Him that I should & would lean on. Then, there was another Christian lady that God put SMACK in the middle of my mess, who was JUST THERE for me. In little & BIG ways, at a phone call she was THERE. Then as I begin to make a total & full commitment to give God “”complete control”" over my life there, finally, was & is my church home & family. There are way too many sweet, precious & gentle souls that I’ve been able to talk to, ask questions, dispair with, be in a panic with, & rejoiced & praised with. Thankfully, now, Ive become that shoulder to cry on, hand to reach out to, paniced phone call to & just plain laughing & loving in & through Christ each day as I endeavor to follow Christ in HIS ways. Thank You Father God!!!! And “Thank You Laurie” for beng one of them along with the other Glo-girls who’ve shared with me, (directly & indirectly), their pearls of wisdom.
Such a sweet testimony, Debbie. Thank you so much for sharing and for being an encourager. Love!
Thank you for this reminder that we are too encourage, support and be patience with immature and irresponsible members of the body. As a ministry leader I have to remember that growing new leaders means setting reasonable expectations but also following this three step principle of encouragement, support and patience.
Thank YOU for your loving leadership. And may I also say that I just love your pseudonym — Measured Grace. Beautiful!
