Note 29 at Eph. 4:15: How is it that we grow out of the immaturity Paul spoke of in the previous verse? The answer is, we must speak the truth in love. Truth without love is like a club. And love without truth is powerless. One reason for such immaturity in the Body of Christ is because ministers (v. 11) haven't been faithful to speak the truth in love as they should. The clergy was "politically correct" long before it was "cool." Many ministers preach on the things people want to hear instead of what they need to hear. "You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free" (Jn. 8:32).
