Publisher's Synopsis
There are stages for every Christian becoming a Son (c.f. Rom 8:18) and this is true even for children raised in the ministry. It is quite similar to a baby, toddler, teenager, to adult stage of life. In the Christian walk there many stages but to name a few: saved, converted, and a son. Each Christian will experience these stages and the first two are perhaps combined for some people, Jesus was always used parables to convey practicality of the gospel in every part of our life. We must be practical as long as we are alive on the earth. Yet our belief and trust must always be maintained in God. In the book of Revelation, God desires for us to be hot or cold, not lukewarm. As a young adult having grown up and around church ministry serving under pastors, and as a pastor's daughter, I have seen pitfalls and successes seeing people being passionate or become lukewarm, kids raised in the ministry, as well as individuals falling away from God there is a Silent Hell Catcher. Prayer, the word of God, and our pursuit of Christ will always be paramount in raising a soul in the kingdom of God and life. We will discuss more in depth in the coming chapters from playing sports as deep as personal prophecy, and maintaining passion for Christ.
