Below I am showing some of the questions we received as text during service. These are the ones we did not have the opportunity to respond to during the service either from the platform or from our other computers we were working from during the service to keep up with giving answers. I would encourage others who read this to give your input here in the blog on the ones labeled “Blog”. These were questions that were too lengthy to answer through a text or during the service.
Here we go:
Q-is it bad 2 l00k up 2 pe0ple other than g0d 11:41 AM
A-Paul wrote “follow me as I follow Christ” It is bad to follow people if they are not doing what God wants them to do. Just remember God will give you people that you should follow to lead you to him.
Q: Is it bad to not obey my Mom Dad and God
A:Scripture says honor your mother and father and it will be well with you. So yes in almost every case it is wrong to disobey your parents. Remember God did not come to condemn the world he came to redeem it. So if you have failed to obey God ask him to forgive you and he will.
Q:: Should we have open hearts to every one?
A: blog (How would you answer this for a child in 4-6th grade?)
Q: Whats the nugget of wisdom
A: A nugget is a small bite size piece, similar to chicken nuggets, you can pick one up, eat and go on the next piece. Nuggets of wisdom are small bite size pieces of information that is in Gods word.
Q: Is bad to try to correct older people.
A: The scripture that comes to mind is that was written about early church leaders “never sharply rebuke an elder” Note the word sharply, if you come to a person with a humble loving heart to help and explain to them what you see and feel to them that is not bad. Keep respect and honor, first and foremost. If they are a person of God, God will do the correcting.
Q: How can we tell the difference between the two types of fears
A: Blog (How would you answer this for a child in 4-6th grade?)

Fire bible.

A: Paraphrase of scripture.” Rest on the lord god all you heart lean not on your own understanding and in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make you path straight.” It sounds like you are doing this keep it up. What this scripture means, is it only matters what God thinks of you. Do what he says, and give God the credit.

A: Blog (How would you answer this for a child in 4-6th grade?)
Q: Should you always walk away from bad people 11:50 AM
A: Yes , the scripture that comes to mind is “flee from immorality” There are situations that you know are wrong and the best thing to do is leave. Your leaving can be as simple as I know this is wrong and I do not want to be a part of it. This may give other the strength to do the same.
Q: in matt 6:10 it tells you to use the lords prayer…should we pray like that all the time
A: The lords prayer is a pattern of what prayer should be. I will take it in pieces.
“Our father which art in heaven hollowed be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. But lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the glory forever. “ Our prayers should give God glory for who he. This prayer also makes clear we want God in control of our lives. It also says God gives us exactly what we need when we need it. Just like he gave the Israelites enough mana to feed them and not any more than they needed. “daily bread” It also ask God for his hand of protection on us, then wraps up with glorifying God again. Mathew 6:10 should be our pattern for prayer but does not have to be repeated verbatim.
Q: How can we kow wat to say yes /no
A: When Jesus was in the the desert being tempted by the Devil. His answer always started, it is written. The only completely correct answer is if the Bible say yes, then yes, If the Bible says no then no. If it is not exactly layed out in the bible. Then find a principle that is clear in the bible. Never forget the Golden rule. Mat 7:12 ? Do onto others as you would want them to do to you.
Q: Is it bad wen we mis church?
A: Missing church is like missing a meal. It will leave you hungry for what you soul needs.
Q: How can we stay focused on god
A: blog (How would you answer this for a child in 4-6th grade?)
Q: D0 u think god letz us make our own choises? Or d0 u think he ch00ses 4 us?
A: Blog (How would you answer this for a child in 4-6th grade?)
Q: If u pray but dont pray every night or day dose it matter?
A: I anwered a question earlier about missing church is like missing a meal. Missing prayer is almost like forgetting to breath, You can hold your breath for awhile but sooner or later if you don’t breath you will die. If you go a long time with prayer it is not healthy for your spirit. When you are in love with something you want to spend time with it. God is no different.
Q: Do you need fear in your life? 11:53 AM
A: The bible say the beginning of wisdom is the fear of God. Fear is this spriture is more along the lines of respect. Another use of fear in the bible that talks about fear is “ God did not give us a spirit of fear but one of life” Fear should not keep you from serving God. Blog?
Q: do you have to give offering
A: Offering is given from a heart of love or a desire to give. If you think you have to do anything that is LAW. God looks at your heart, man looks at what you do. I will ask your question another way. Should you want to give offings? The answer to that is yes.
Q: I have a friend who is a Jehovah’s Witness..Should I still be her friend
A: Blog? (How would you answer this for a child in 4-6th grade?)
I left these un-edited on purpose. I took out the phone numbers or names as this is not important for anyone to see, but left the text itself alone. The answers on these where provided by sme great team members who helped me get answers to all the kids. Again, how would you have answered any of them differently? Or what kind of answer would you give on those marked “blog”?
