7 characteristics of a child

-child-like is NOT childishness.

-u can be 50 years old, yet behave childishly.

-by 15 u shld have e ability to reason, to have abstract understanding and have e ability to analyse.

1. The childish man is the center of his own universe.

-luke 15:11

-self centered, does what he wants; his own way.

-doesnt care about people around him.

-talks about himself...ME, ME, ME

2. The childish man is insensitive to others.

-2 kings 2:23-243.

The childish man demands his own way.

-luke 7:31, 33, 35

-complains when his needs are not met.

-"When i dont get it my way...I'll..." -> this and that.

-he gives excuses / justifies himself / non decisive

-love desires to benefit others at e expense of self because love desires to give.

4. The childish man throws temper tantrums.

-luke 9:51, 53

-meekness is not a sign of weakness!

-a strong person has self control, a weak person has no control.

-e.g. it takes strength to go e extra mile, e turn e other side when u are slapped on one side, etc.

-a real man is a real gentlemen. (strong YET gentle)

5. The childish man is irresponsible.

-he refuses to accept responsiblity for his actions -> stop blaming others!

-in relationships, finances, education, career, etc.

-gen 3

-real men live by CONVICTION, not by convenience!!!

-dun jus seek involvement...GO AFTER COMMITMENT!

-seek maturity -> make e decision to grow.

6. The childish man doesnt reason.

mature: feel - think - act

child: feel - act - think/wonders

-a kid jus does what he thinks is right. -> never thinks about consequences

7. The childish man only obeys concrete authority.

-they only understand brute force/threat.
