Questions, Christ, and King

















My wife, Tera, and I were part of a conversation recently with the St. Paul Parenting Fellowship group. Our evening together focused on "Answering Kids’ Tough Questions." Here are some of the questions from our evening together:
Why can't I see God?
Why do people have to die?
Where do people go when they die?
Where is heaven?
What happens to people who don't believe in God?
Why does God let bad things happen?
If God can do anything, why don’t some people have a house?
I find it interesting that the questions we ask and wrestle with throughout our lives aren't too different from the one these little ones raise.

Click on this link to listen to an episode of This American Life entitled "Kid Logic." (Click on "Full Episode" in the left margin.) It's all good, but especialy moving starting at 13.10.

Thanks Dr. King for trying to answer some of the tough questions.
