Mark;

That reminded me of a 3 year old in Fla. who liked to come up front when his Grandpa was preaching. This one would get up beside Grandpa and loundly say; Oh gory!

Paris,
Train up a preacher in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.

I know many kids sometimes play church, but watching this kid doing the theatrics like that made me .... sad. I would want to train up children "in the Lord", not in how to be an actor stirring up emotional responses. When I have been in charismatic services or watched them, I have sometimes seen lack of substance in the preaching going hand in hand with extra theatrics.

To me what the adults are doing in these videos is what I would call "spiritualizing". That child is doing nothing more than play acting and the adults are trying to make it into some "spirit filled moment".

A few years back there was this little guy at our church. He and his parents and grandparents attended regularly. I watched this little guy be "trained up in the Lord". He knew the order of worship and whenever the time came that the pastor would ask for prayer requests or whenever we would say the Lords prayer, this little guy would say "prayer" "prayer" "prayer" the whole time and his mom would try to get him to stop and her and I would just grin..Also this little guy insisted on holding his own hymnal and so many times I would look at him and he would be intently staring at an,,,upside down hymnal,,that was real... and that is what I call "trained up in the Lord..

Something about those videos and the parents excitement is disturbing to me. I think they just wanted to put it on video and use it for "entertaiment"..
