From The Mouth Of Babes

I have never had anyone tell me they wanted to spend eternity with me. When I learned that God wants to, I accepted Jesus on Tuesday. 

There it is, folks. In the words of a junior higher.

    Thank you for this powerful, unique remark. Many believers, perhaps a large majority, unfortunately systematize their spiritual gathering times such that they will never hear a personal spiritual expression from a teen or a child, nor the teens and children a personal spiritual expression from them. Very sad. I just read a blog where the majority of the contributors wanted children out of even their interactive small group times in a home. I understand why, it's just very very sad.

    POSTSCRIPT: I just had the privilege of seeing the young lady I quoted here get baptized in the Pacific Ocean tonight, along with 20+ others. What a victory for Jesus!
