Children, and children of the faith, just soak everything in - God works in their lives to transform them and grow them. However, there comes a point where people think they have arrived; where people know what they believe and anything that doesn't fit with that becomes 'heresy' (I'm speaking politically, economically, and culturally, as well as theologically)<BR/><BR/>Ironically, this problem often lies with us parents and leaders (please don't think I am drawing a parallel with God in this instance), who ourselves think that we have arrived in our understanding. Jesus speaks about how it is a very bad thing to lead one of his little ones astray. Let's not limit God to our own feeble understanding.<BR/><BR/>Thank you Jonathan for the challenge posed by this post.David and Jane Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00488568428274168072noreply@blogger.com
