Boy Eating Apple
Contributed by John Bright on Jan 17, 2021 (message contributor)
A four-year-old boy was eating an apple in the back seat of the car, when he asked, "Daddy, why is my apple turning brown?"
"Because," his dad explained, "after you ate the skin off, the meat of the apple came into contact with the air, which caused it to oxidize, thus changing the molecular structure and turning it into a different color."
There was a long silence. Then the son asked softly, "Daddy, are you talking to me?"
Many people feel the Bible is too complicated and too hard to understand. Actually, the REAL problem most folks have with the Bible is not the parts they don’t understand, but rather the parts they do understand. “Jesus replied, "But even more blessed are all who hear the word of God and put it into practice." Luke 11:28
