They'd like us to believe it's because of that scripture that says "out of the mouths of babes".... But what it does show is the education level required to be a fundamentalist preacher, and how it's 99% showmanship and only 1% real spirituality.

It is not the first time such a thing has happened:
Jer 1:7 But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I [am] a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.
Jer 1:8 Be not afraid of their faces: for I [am] with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.
Jer 1:9 ¶ Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.

I'm of the belief that, regardless what the kids say abut wanting to do this, they were pushed into it by their bible-thumping parents. As far as I'm concerned, it's just another variant on the stage mother's that push their daughters into all those stupid kiddie pageants.

Personally, I think they're just a little too young. It's certainly better that being in the street, drinking and doing drugs.

I think they're the tip of the iceberg. I've heard it prophecied for years that God was going to raise up the very young. They need to be covered in prayer, they're easy targets for pride. But God bless them.
