We read in scripture that the church is filled with two kinds of believers, the weak and the strong. But the strong did not become this way over night, it was a process, an "increase of measure" as they did not hold back their gifts whatever they are - some mundane some spiritual gifts, but use so everyone can see their progress just as Timothy was instructed to do as well. In this way, the body grows individually and corporately "as each one does their part" Ephesians 4:16 encourages !
