"But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus." ~ 2 Timothy 3:15, 16
Most of us have been in church since we were little girls - perhaps even since we were born! Likewise, most of us have spent a great deal of time under the preaching of God's Word because of our parents/authority figures bringing us to church. In a sense, we go to church because we are brought to church.
Several of you are either already in or are quickly approaching adulthood. My challenge to you is this: is your faith really yours, or is it just your parents'? Will you continue to do those spiritual things your parents taught you to do, or will you eventually become a "hit and miss" church attender? Will you walk with the LORD on your own, or will you choose to live without His blessing on your life?
Church attendance is not the only thing about our Christian walk, that is for sure. I am just using that as one example of the many things that we are "made" to do as girls growing up in church. So, think about it - is God important to you because He is yours, or is He just kind of part of your life right now because He is important to your parents?

So thankful for Godly parents who do "make" their children come to church, but so thrilled when I see young ladies serving God because it's their desire and passion. Such a challenging post!
