It is time for the church to take ministry to children, seriously. For too long, the church has been happy to keep the children quiet, and out of the adult service. Children are an integral part of the body of Christ, and Jesus desires that each child should operate in their calling and this should be taught from a very young age.  2 Timothy 1:9 –  He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time

Jesus used a child to model what is necessary to enter into the Kingdom of heaven. Many adults never see the children in the church, so how will they know how to “be like a child” to enter the kingdom of heaven? Adults have much to learn from children. They just need to understand that the children are an integral part of the body of Christ.
