The Danger of Spiritual Stagnation
Murray critiques the acceptance of prolonged spiritual infancy among believers, likening it to a disease. 'Babyhood at the proper time is the most beautiful thing in the world, but babyhood continued too long is a burden and a sorrow.' He identifies dependence on others for spiritual nourishment and inability to help others as signs of immaturity, urging a move towards Spirit-led maturity through surrender.
