Men, Hebrews 6:1-12. This is an encouraging passage to anyone who has "tasted and seen". The author encourages his audience, and now us to move on from elementary teachings of Christ, and consider deeper subjects within our faith. Those that fall away from the faith, (this is not merely backsliding), are considered weeds and thorns. If we have truly tasted and seen, having a genuine salvation experience, then we will grow. We will grow into useful fruit or, in the case of apostasy, they grow into thorns. Thorns are useless and are to be burned up as debris. But as in the case of his audience, we also are capable of better things, good things, which are counted as good works, or fruit. Our Lord does not forget our good works. Move forward men,
