Just What Is 'Strong Meat'? - Brian Knowles - April 1974

Brian Knowles

"Strong meat," asserted the Apostle Paul, "belongeth to them that are of full age..." (Heb. 5:14). But what is strong meat? Is it to be equated with ranting, shouting, apoplectic hellfire and brimstone sermons? Does strong meat refer to "powerful" correction and rebuking? Or is it something else? Many Christians have mistakenly assumed that "strong meat" and loud noise are synonymous. They have measured a sermon's strength by the volume of the speaker's voice. They have associated a bulgeveined, foam-flecked, threat-filled delivery with the strong meat of God's Word. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
