Here is another Texting Tuesday post from our questions during our Texting services done in Take TWO’s The Studio. This week we had less questions to post due to bad weather and us canceling all services but the 2pm service. I still want to encourage parents to use what is here as devotional material with your kids. Use it to talk with them on some topics that to tell you the truth have surprised some of us that kids even had on their radar let alone some actually dealing with these issues. We love the kids and we love their parents, and it is through this love and understanding that parents will have a far greater influence into their kids lives than any children’s pastor like myself or any volunteer like the ones we have throughout all of Take TWO will ever have. So it is our intention to provide this Texting Tuesday material for family use. Plus when kids need an answer that is given with the heartbeat of God, this will be a place they can come. We even power our search field through Google so they can search for answers that may have been given a while ago.
Just a reminder, we do not edit the questions outside of taking all phone numbers and names out.
Q: How do i get my anger out at my dad? He cheated on the best mom in the woreld! Just becuse sex! He lied to my face in a store last year! He looked in my eyes and said he was not cheting but when i was mowing the lawn wit my grandpa my mom came out screaming becuse she fond out that my dad was cheating on her! How do i get my anger out?
A: This is by no means an easy answer or easy to do either. But check these out as examples that also where not easy to do but necessary:
* The Apostle Paul instructs us to “be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you” (Eph. 4:32) All of our sins had equal part in driving Christ to the cross.
* John tells us, “The one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked” (1 John 2:6).
* Jesus Himself is our pattern for forgiveness. On behalf of those who drove the nails through His hands, spit in His face, mocked Him, and crushed a crown of thorns onto His head, Jesus said, “Father, forgive them” (Luke 23:34). He is our role model. The severity of any offense toward us cannot match what Christ endured.
* The writer of Hebrews said, “You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood in your striving against sin” (12:4).
Now as this may have been much easier to write, it is not as easy to follow. Deep hurts like what is taking place with you from the sins of your dad will take time. But it takes obedience from you to continue to lift it up to the only One who can truly help you with this. Do it daily, be honest with Jesus of your pain, anger and all the feelings. Over time, He will walk with you out of this shadow of pain and then you will have a strong testimony of Gods love to share with others who may be in the same kind of pain.
Q: Whos fault was its adam or eve?
A: both because we are all responsible 4 our own acts. they both made their own descision to disobey God.
Q: Hey i have aa question;when nicole was talking about being cut i want to know how i can fill my love.
(Just a little brief explanation of this question, we had someone share of how for years they were into “cutting” trying to find release from all kinds of stuff, trying to find love, trying to find forgiveness etc.)
A: the only way u can fill ur love is finding Jesus. allow Him 2 come in and fix our mistakes. complete surrender from ur heart. God will come in and do the rest.
Q: What is the real definition of love
A: 1 John 4:7-10 - 7 Dear friends, we should love each other, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has become God’s child and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love to us: He sent his one and only Son into the world so that we could have life through him. This is what real love is: It is not our love for God; it is God’s love for us. He sent his Son to die in our place to take away our sins.(The Everyday Bible : New Century Version. 2005 (1 Jn 4:7–10). Nashville, TN.: Thomas Nelson, Inc.)
