Contributed by W Pittendreigh on Oct 14, 2003

Life is hard, unfair, and sometimes just plain messy! It requires sacrifice! This is true even of God, who sent His Son as a Sacrifice -- a lamb -- who would pay the price for the injustice, sinful messiness of humanity.

The Transfiguration And The Second Coming Series

Contributed by James O. Davis on Oct 28, 2003

Don't You Understand,

Where Is God?

Contributed by John Covell on Oct 17, 2001

God says we need him and, even though we might not often think of it in these terms, we wish we didn’t need God. We don’t want to need God.

A few weeks ago, I was given a list of 75 questions asked by our elementary kids about God.
