A child brought to church and that participates in any way is soaking up the information and religious experience. Everyone has a different road to travel to their personal relationship with God. For some they are immediately accepting and before they graduate college are saved and have gone through the various practices of publicly announcing this change. (yes, I know that is very technical, but theological explainations can be that way sometimes, especially since Baptist immersion is different in some ways from other Protestant forms of publically showing this change.) Others seem to travel a more difficult and sometimes painful path. Those that had the seeds of God's love planted, tend to realize eventually that God is there for them whether they believe or not. The best case is that then they come back to those settings where the simple message of Christ was nutured in Childhood.<BR/><BR/>The hardest part is watching those people struggle. The best thing is to be there and constantly live your faith. God is taking care of the rest. I believe that God places people in our lives for a reason. The person in this situation that would help make Christ real, might not have entered the picture yet.Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10583844249115222344noreply@blogger.com
