EXPLAIN GOD
One of God's main jobs is making people. He makes them to replace
the ones that die, so there will be enough people to take care of
things on earth. He doesn't make grown-ups, just babies. I think because
they are smaller and easier to make. That way He doesn't have to take up
His valuable time teaching them to talk and walk. He can just leave
that to mothers and fathers
God's second most important job is listening to prayers. An awful
lot of this goes on, since some people, like preachers and things,
pray at times beside bedtime. God doesn't have time to listen to the
radio or TV because of this.
God sees everything and hears everything and is everywhere which
keeps Him pretty busy So you shouldn't go wasting His time by going
over your Mom and Dad's head asking for something they said you couldn't
have.
Atheists are people who don't believe in God. I don't think there
are any in Chula Vista. At least there aren't any who come to our church.
Jesus is God's Son. He used to do all the hard work like walking
on water & performing miracles & people finally got tired of Him preaching to
them and they crucified Him. But He was good and kind, like His Father and He
told His Father that they didn't know what they were doing and to forgive
them and God said "O.K."
His Dad (God) appreciated everything that He had done and all His
hard work on earth so He told Him He didn't have to go out on the road
anymore. He could stay in heaven. So He did. And now He helps His Dad out
by listening to prayers and seeing things which are important for God
to take care of and which ones He can take care of Himself without
having to bother God. Like a secretary, only more important.
You can pray anytime you want and they are sure to help you because they got
it worked out so one of them is on duty all the time.
You should always go to church on Sunday because it makes God
happy, and if there's anybody you want to make happy, it's God. Don't
skip church to do something you think will be more fun like going to the
beach.
This is wrong. And besides the sun doesn't come out at the beach until
noon anyway.
If you don't believe in God, besides being an atheist, you will be
very lonely, because your parents can't go everywhere with you,
like to camp, but God can. It is good to know He's around you when you're
scared in the dark or when you can't swim and you get thrown into real
deep water by big kids.
But...you shouldn't just always think of what God can do for you.
I figure God put me here and He can take me back anytime He pleases.
And...that's why I believe in God.
Keep these thoughts with you throughout the coming years!
