Children's Letters To God

Did you mean for the giraffe to look like that or was it an  accident?   - Norma

Dear GOD,
Who draws the lines around the countries?    -  Nan

Dear GOD,
I went to this wedding and they kissed right in church.  Is that  okay?   -  Neil

Dear GOD,
What does it mean You are a Jealous God?  I thought You had  everything.   -  Jane

Dear GOD,
Did you really mean "do unto others as they do unto you"?  Because if you did, then I'm going to fix my brother!

Dear GOD,
Please send me a pony.  I never asked for anything before, You can look it up.   - Bruce

Dear GOD,

To See or Not To See

My face in the mirror
isn’t wrinkled or drawn;
My house isn’t dirty
the cobwebs are gone.
My garden looks lovely
and so does my lawn;
I think I might never
put my glasses back on!

 

  

Side Pain 

At Sunday school they were teaching how God created everything, including human beings. Little Johnny seemed especially intent when they told him how Eve was created out of one of Adam's ribs.

Later in the week his mother noticed him lying down as though he were ill, and said, Johnny what is the matter? Little Johnny responded, "I have a pain in my side. I think I'm going to have a wife."

Associate Pastor Wayne DurdenAnd the LORD God of their fathers sent warnings to them by His messengers, rising up early and sending them, because He had compassion on His people and on His dwelling place. But they mocked the messengers of God, despised His words, and scoffed at His prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against His people, till there was no remedy. (2 Chronicles 36:15 - 16)

The two verses we have chosen as our text are very powerful scriptures. Allow me to say early on in this message the God who spoke this world into existence will always do right by His people.

Far be it from You to do such a thing as this, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be as the wicked; far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?" (Genesis 18:25). Note! The scripture says He had compassion on His people. May I remind us that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever, He has compassion on us as well. What about the law of the Kingdom of God; what is it? The law is God's word. It contains the mind of God, it is God. His will runs from Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is the book of all books. Please understand this, when God's children are obedient to God's law (His Word) this automatically brings us into conflict with the values of the culture we live in, for our culture as a whole does not subscribe to God's laws.


I want to further say, if the laws of the government defies the law of God, we must be obedient to God's law. But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up. (Daniel 3:18). There are many people in God's word who put their lives on the line to obey God's word. Remember, obedience to God is better than sacrifice. Oh! that we'll become hungry for God's word.


In The Love of Christ, Pastor Durden
