[:en]When the young athletes learn to play baseball game, the coach has to patiently guide them in the learning process toward maturity. Then they celebrate their success later as they play with skill as a team.
Paul pointed out that the church needs people who will be patient, bearing with one another in love (Eph. 4:2). We need a variety of “coaches” (pastors, teachers, spiritual mentors) to help them move toward “unity in the faith” and become mature. Let us walk alongside with each other as we travel on this journey towards maturity.[:]
