JACKSON, GEORGIA Weekly Devotional FROM DWARFISM TO GIANTHOOD by Rev. E. Ray Savage, Pastor Jackson Church of The Nazarene Tom Thumb at the age of twenty-five was but thirty one inches tall. Jeffery Hudson in the court of Charles I of England was only eighteen inches tall when he was thirty years old. There are entire dwarf races to be found among certain bushmen of Africa, even today. What causes dwarfism? We are told that there are three major factors: (1) The cartilage fails to develop normally into bone; (2) A disorder of the thyroid gland causes a hormone de ficiency; and (3) Failure of the pituitary gland to function properly. Spiritual dwarfism offers its tragedies too. Here is one of the great blights and threats to the ongoing of vital Christianity. The rate of arrested development of the inner man is at an alarming, soaring figure. There is more religion and less salvation than we like to think. Many saints, so called, never win a soul to Christ, never pay their tithes, never assume the responsibilities of service in the church. Dwarfs they are, though called to be giants of spiritual power and usefulness in the Kingdom! What causes religious pygmies? Is it carnal contentment? Worldly preoc cupation? Self-centeredness? Devotional malfunction? In sufficient spiritual exer cises? Diet devoid of moral nourishment? Yes! These and other conditions are fatal to Christian nurture and growth. But there is a cure! Renunciation of the world with all its glitter and froth! The awful self-crucifixion - crucifixion with Christ if you please! The delightful indul gence in prayer, private meditation, and Bible study! The spiritual fiber-building practice of witnessing for Christ and working to win souls! Away with the pygmy practices which dwarf the soul! Onward to spiritual gianthood! Our capacity for inner enlargement is infinite. May the souls of the saints never cease to grow in Christlikeness!
