Great quotes as an intro to the song in the Bill and Ted movie - "We've been to the past.

'Coz it's never too late to work nine to fiveĪnd if you're young then you'll never grow old Man you've gotta sweat or you won't get far Love Cliff Richard but please don't tease Research shows that parents who study the Bible with their children give their character, faith and spiritual life a powerful boost.No it's never too late to change your mindĭon't step on snails, don't climb in trees Kids Talk About God is designed for families to study the Bible together. Memorize this truth: “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to his purpose,” (Romans 8:28).Īsk this question: What weakness is God using to draw you to himself? Think about this: God wants to reveal his glory to us and to others even in our sicknesses and disabilities. Through his ministry, Crossway International, Dean travels to Kenya, Nicaragua and other countries doing water projects and starting schools for poor people. My missionary friend Dean Chollar uses his blindness to glorify God. The man born blind had to tell his own neighbors, “I am he,” (John 9:9).ĭon’t be surprised if people think you’re crazy when you tell them how God used your ailment or tragedy to glorify himself.

Some of the blind man’s neighbors even said that he only looked like the man born blind. But God still loves them.”Īfter such a miraculous healing, you would think people would be glorifying God with jumping-up-and-down joy. “The people that did not care about the blind man were selfish and did not care about anybody else. God uses weakness to do a work in us for his glory. Through the long months of therapy that restored my ability to walk, I noticed that my compassion for the sick and disabled increased. God uses our weaknesses to draw us closer to him.Īfter my femur was shattered in a car accident, I woke up in a hospital bed after a long surgery unable to move my leg. We should always believe Him at all costs.”įaith in the Lord looks at physical ailments through the window of God’s goodness and power. “We should trust Him and never not trust Him to help us. “We should have faith in God at all times,” says Samuel, 8. When Jesus returns to establish his kingdom, sickness, disabilities and even sorrow itself will take a permanent holiday. The effects of Adam’s original sin are everywhere. Often, we have to be humbled in order to realize our need. Our natural tendency is toward self sufficiency, pride and arrogance. Only God knows why babies are born with handicaps, and only God can turn those handicaps into something that will bring good to the people and glory to His name.” The purpose of the blindness was that “the works of God should be revealed in him,” (John 9:3).Ībout Jesus healing the man born blind, theologian Warren Wiersbe wrote: “To blame a specific disability on a specific sin committed by specific persons is certainly beyond any man’s ability or authority. Jesus said that neither the blind man nor his parents had sinned. Jesus opposed this judgmental attitude that assigned physical ailments to specific sins. The controversy started with Jesus’ own disciples: “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” (John 9:1). This healing that started with Jesus’ spit created far more controversy than if Linkletter had drooled all over Awana’s bright, shiny floors. When Jesus healed the man born blind, he spat on the ground and made a kind of clay that he put on the blind man’s eyes. Linkletter remarked on the cleanliness of Awana’s floors and then quipped, “You must not allow spitting!”

The first time I met Art Linkletter of “Kids Say the Darndest Things” fame, the president of Awana was leading him on a tour of its headquarters.
