Here we have another batch of questions that have been asked by the kids that we did not get to during our Studio Kids service. It is our desire to get to the place of posting these every Tuesday here on this blog for our Texting Tuesday post. What is a Texting Tuesday post day exactly? We have started to allow kids in our studio service (4-6th grade) to bring their cell phones and use them during our service. We have found out that often times kids have more on their minds that we are aware. The there are those parents who want a way into the thoughts and concerns of their kids but are unsure of how to get this accomplished. Well here is part of our answer for this. Please note, I did not go in and edit spelling or punctuation for this because we wanted to stay as true as possible to what and how the kids asked their questions.
Parents, please continue to check this blog out every Tuesday (well every Tuesday once we get a rythm for ourselves that is). You will be able to read what is on the minds of kids, your kids through a venue that they enjoy - texting. We do not connect the kids with the questions, and we take out the phone numbers, as this is not relevant for what we are attempting to do. But even with all that taken out, the real goods are still here - their questions, thoughts, concerns etc. Feel free to pick through these and talk to your kids about. Who knows, your may have some of the same thoughts and concerns.
You will notice the format of this is I post their question ad then myself or one of my leaders answer the question. I am Google voice for all of this so that I have a record of what is being asked and answered as well. I then for the most part copy and paste here for your family to use. We are also finding that this is becoming a great data base for them to refer their friends to as well, seeing that also have my search feature powered by Google and it is making a great data base for answers for kids and families. Parents. may you also feel free to ask a question or so and we will respond to you the same. Ask your kids for our number they all have it.
Enjoy

A: Simply put sexual sin is sin the goes against what God has saved for married people.
Q: Why are we born with sin
A: GRACE! What the Bible defines as sin serves as a schoolmaster to show us all that God’s grace forgives. If we were not sinners we would not need grace. We sin because we are sinners. Note the difference from: we are sinners because we have sinned.
Q: Sometimes people dont understand me. H0w do i help them understand me?
A: Communication, People will understand you when you share your life with them. If you want friends. Be a friend.
Q: Is it true that when parents disipline you, they d0 it because they love you?

Q: Why does god let us mess up?

Q: How do you break the swearing habit????
A: To break any negative habit, like swearing,replace it with something positive. Php 4:6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. Php 4:7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Q : Is it ok when you are doing a good deed to think of the later reward
A: It is ok to think of the reward as long as the reward is not the reason for the deed. Your motive is what counts. The Bible compare good deeds with wrong motives to straw. And when the fire comes it will be burned up. If the good deed is do with pure motive then it is compared to gold and it will last.
Q: If god created us perfect how did adam and eve sin
A: The Bible says Gen 5:1 when God created Adam it was in Gods likeness or resemblance. God is described as All knowing, All powerfull, Eternal, None of those were used to describe Adam. Adam was born without sin, but did sin though his willful disobedience of Gods command.
Q: Why doesn’t god hardly ever answer in words when you pray
A: That one is tough. If I had to give an answer to why does God not answer audibly, I would say because we could not handle it. If you remember Moses face glowed because he saw God, Isiah had to be hid in the clef of a rock and was only allowed to see God’s back as he passed by so he would not die.
Q: why is it illegal in some counties to worship God….
A: Not all counties have America’s Heritage, our founding fathers knew all of our rights are given by God. Not all counties in fact very few were founded by Godly people that trusted God to lead them to form Government. A lot of foregien countries do not want to admit God has all power. If they did they would have the power themselves.
