You wanna be an adult?

Today i was thinking about young adults becoming members of the church. I thought of this in the context of how young adults are thrust into, or invade on their own, various meetings and deciding forums in a congregation.

Now, i think that young adults should be empowered and encouraged to get involved... but I'm not sure it shouldn't come without a challenge.

Quite simply, the young adult should be asked if they are willing to give to the church like an adult.

It's no secret that those of my, and the previous generation don't give to the same extent as those prior. A reason could be that they aren't challenged to give in the mainstream church. They aren't told that maturing as a Christian stretches to their wallets, not just their dedication to service or Bible reading.
