Same church different event. My friends church had a children's service in another room,I went with because I figured time would go by faster.
some highlights:
1. They talked about Samuel and his birth and his mother Hannah praying for a child
2.they talked about how God talked to Samuel and how it's different then how God talks to us today. the woman leading the group said "The world calls it your conscience but it's really the voice of God..
She went on to how you can hear the voice of God,by reading your Bible and praying.
Sometimes I wonder where the voice of God is in the most devastating circumstances. And what about sociopaths? or people who seem to have no conscience is that just Satan?
3. One of the kids said(when asked about a story they heard in the bible) they said "Like the land of the lost?" and she said no this is real,all the stuff that happened in the Bible was real.
anyway this just was in my head today
just seeing the kids and being taught about the God above. and these different things. they have thing little bracelets that say P.U.S.H(pray until something happens)
comments? questions? did this even make sense?
According to christian theology, their god is all knowing and all powerful. I think prayer is futile, since in essence, people are trying to gain favor or perhaps change fate. According to most sheep I have talked to, they say that all is predetermined, so prayer is futile. Unless of course, you pray for what is supposedly determined to happen.
Then again, those children have not probably entered cancer wards for children and witnessed all the unanswered prayers for those children dying. Nor have those children been exposed to famine or extreme suffering and all the unanswered prayers there. Those bracelets are useless in the above mentioned places. But I guess ignorance is bliss.
