WHERE IS GOD?


(In the kitchen. Little Billy has just come back from Sunday school. He is excited).

Billy: (with excitement): Mom! Mom! Guess what
we did in Sunday school today. We learned all
about God. We learned that he knows us, and
loves us, and that he sees us.
Is that true?

Mother: Yes, It’s true God is in all living things.

Billy: Really Mom? Really? How come he can see
us but we can’t see him?

Mother: (Laughing) Do me a favor go wash your
hands for supper, then afterwards we can talk
about the Lord.

Billy: The Lord!? I thought his name was God.

Mother: Alright, I guess dinner will have to wait.
Billy, God has many names not just one.

Billy: He must get confused, people calling him by
all different names.

Mother: No he knows what people call him and
he never gets confused. You see Billy God does
know each of us in a very personal way. He
wants to be our best friend. Even though we
cannot see him we know he is there. Here I will
show you. (takes Billy’s hand and leads him
outside to the garden). Look (she points to the
tomato plants) God is in those tomatoes, He gave
them the sunlight and the rain so that that they
would grow.
God is in the grass, the soil, the animals, and
people.

Billy: Wow God is in all those places?

Mother: Yes and there is one more place we can
find God.

Billy: Where Mom tell me.
Mother (Leading him by the hand) Come with me.
(She goes inside and pulls out her Bible). We can
also find God in here, in His word.

Billy: Wow! (He goes outside and looks at the
trees and the grass and the birds) Hello God how
are you today?

WHERE SHALL WE GO?

When we can no longer differentiate a church from a social gathering, and all what we do in church is to just have fun. When we can’t differentiate a choir from a harlot, and an usher is not different from a waiter. When the church is no more conducive where shall we go? When worship session in a church is just like a disco night and we cant differentiate a pastor from a comedian. When salvation message is no longer the order of the day but prosperity and entertainment message is now the core course. When the church is no more conducive where shall we go? When prayer warrior now have to go to tongue- speaking school for utterances, and deliverance and healing session is now like MTH 201 to be taught and learned. When pastor have to pause for members to clap and shout during sermon in enthusiasm, and all what we now gain from preaching is now new vocabulary and word usage. When the church is no more conducive where shall we go? When the church of God is now...

When Helping is not Helping

Having the desire to help others is the calling that brings many into the “helping professions.” For others, it is the day to day service that we do for our families, children and others we work for/or/with. There is a fine line however when helping is not really helping, but rather a barrier that leads to stagnation or worse yet, fosters an unhealthy dependence. Indicators of when helping is NOT helping: 1. When the help we provide is not accepted by others The term I’ve used for years is when helping leads to “help rejecting complainers.” When our helping leads others to excuse themselves of embracing the help, then rejecting it, or avoiding it. This is not a judgment of our help or our intent, but of others’ readiness to change. They may simply not see the same way as you do. They may not value the same things. 2. When the help leads others to make the same poor decisions Any change effort has to be embraced as well as given. It is hard to un...
