More 36 questions<\/a> with hubby:<\/p>\n

#13 If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future or anything else, what would you want to know?<\/p>\n

Me: I don’t want to know when I die, that would be scary.<\/p>\n

Hubs: But you can prepare. If I knew I only had one year to live, we can spend money and go on a cruise.<\/p>\n

Me: If I had one year to live, I would want to spend time with people and tell them about Jesus. Actually, we can do that now and we can go on a cruise now too.<\/p>\n

Me: Maybe I want to know if I’m really going to be in heaven.<\/p>\n

Hubs: You already know that, don’t waste the crystal ball on that.<\/p>\n

Me: Yeah, good point.<\/p>\n

Hubs: I’d want to know which stocks will be up in the next months.<\/p>\n

Me: ok, make some money and we’ll go on a cruise.<\/p>\n

Today in Children Worship, within 5 minutes after my sermon, I asked one of the 4th grade girls whom I know well and was very attentive: What is one thing you learned from the message today? …*cricket chirp*…Do you remember one thing?…ok, bye!…<\/p>\n

Teaching children is very humbling. Even when I thought I had a very good lesson, it’s not about me. It’s all up to God to do the rest.<\/p>\n

A new family came. The whole family – mom, dad, 3rd grader, 2nd grader, baby – came to Children Worship. The parents want to help the 2 elementary kids adjust to their first time here. “We attend an Indonesian church, but we don’t have anything for the children. We like it here already.”<\/p>\n

How can you like a church you’ve only just attended the children worship? Do you choose a home church based on what the children ministry looks like? Can you discern our theology from one sermon you heard from me?<\/p>\n

Our church is attracting families from small churches without children\/youth ministries. But my kids were raised in a small church without that. I’m not saying that it’s a good thing, but small churches have many things to offer that a larger church cannot. There is a place for small churches and God accomplishes His purposes through small churches. I wish parents would not decide to come to our church based on what looks like a “good children and youth program” which they conclude based on our size.<\/p>\n
