Children's Letters To God 

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

Dear GOD,
Instead of letting people die and having to make new ones,  why don't You just keep the ones You have now?  - Jane

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!  - Darla

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

Dear GOD,
I bet it is very hard for You to love all of everybody in the whole world. There are only 4 people in our family and I can never do it.   - Nan

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."

waynedurden.jpgI have chosen the way of truth; Your judgments I have laid before me (Psalm 119:30).   Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who may stand in His holy place?  He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully (Psalm 24:3, 4).

It's always been amazing to me that even in the Old Testament God called for His people to be a holy people, may I say to all reading this message, we've got to be a holy people if we expect to get into and live in God's presence. In Old Testament times a priest's failure to wash his hands in the bronze laver was punishable by death because everything that had anything to do with the tabernacle was to be holy (Exodus 30:20), you see, God's looking for holy people even today, (Hebrews 12:14).  The priest having clean hands symbolized the provision that Jesus made for each of us that truly repents and accepts Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.

We are cleansed and made new creatures through God's holy word, (1 Pet. 1:22, 23).

No man is qualified according to God's word to go into God's presence without clean hands and a pure heart.  (Job 17:9) is a great scripture that lets us know as we live holy, that we can be stronger and stronger, Praise God.

Read these great scriptures and let God speak to you, James 4:7; Ps. 26:6, 7; 2 Sam. 22:21, Praise God for His word.

Through Christ, Pastor Durden
