Agreed HIH,I think the general principle is true. But on a side note, I think this is what makes people who can give themselves to God and manifest His character at an early age so impressive. It's a glorious thing when you see someone manifest the fruit of the Spirit and/or stand boldly for Christ at an early age, especially in their teenage years or in young adulthood.
Just my thoughts.
I LOVE to see the younger ones coming to Him. Always wanted to know what it was like to grow up in a REAL Christian home. My mom was definitely a Christian, and we all eventually did leave the CC. But, by then I was already OF the world and did not know what to do so, I lived a life of fun and partying. Always worked though and payed the bills first but, I was truly on the highway to hell.
I credit all of my moms prayers for us that we all came to Jesus as we did.
But, we all have our lot in life, it's how we react to the world and our circumstances that makes the difference, I think.
If only God gave us back...time. Sigh. But, water under the bridge
