The truth is there should be that huge of a change for someone brought up as a Christian. It is called sanctification. As Hannah said , repentance is a daily thing and not a one time event. The person who grew up in the church and has convinced themselves they are not sinful is in worse shape than the sinner outside the church who knows they are sinful. The reason they backslide so often isn't because they missed out on something in the world. It is because they love the world instead of God and have convinced themselves that God winks at sin.
It is about having religion instead of really having God for them.

Be careful with this. It is more dangerous than people realize. Jesus got more angry at religious people who were proud of their own works than he did at the flagrant sinners outside of religion.

Believe me there is plenty of repenting for those who have grown up in church. And it never ends. If there is not radical change in your life since a year ago , you missed it somewhere. Don't let religious hypocrites lies to you about it. There is not this place we reach where we are not in need of deeper repentance and deeper sanctification.

I'm so happy too! When I was on stage playing my guitar with the band I glanced at my parents and there was my momma clappin' her hands! WOOOOOOOOO HALLELUJAH!!!! At one point she was like, "Josh I don't like the Pentecostal church. I can't stand them raisin' their hands, speakin' in tongues, and clappin their hands!" LOL...God is such an AWESOME MIRACLE WORKING GOD!!!!! He turns everything around that we think is going to turn ugly! HALLELUJAH!

I agree

There is this lady who started going to our church like a year or two before we started going there, her daughter thought she was just coming to visit b/c her mom wanted her to come, little did she know months later she would be in the same church, and not there for her mother but there for herself.


God has humor, I like it when God do things like that, I pray that she will continue to enjoy herself eachtime she goes and will really get into the services and everything and will have fun worshipping the Lord

Really random...

I highly suggest reading this book,

"Walking In the Supernatural" by Dr. T.L. Lowery

It's an AMAZING book! You all should check it out and buy a copy.

Don't know why I had to type that but something was pressing me to say that.

What is missing in many Christian's lives is the sanctification experience. This is what settles this issue for those who are brought up in the church. Without pursueing sanctification , many do backslide.

Good Morning friends.

I have read over the last few pages and have seen a wonderful conversation between two generations in two different places in their walk with the Lord.
How beautiful your thoughts and suggestions are!

You know, any age has it's share of stumbles and road blocks. Taking on the mantle of Christ brings with it blessings and the over coming of evil.

It sounds as they you both have a firm grasp of this and God bless you mightily!!!!
