KIDS TALK
ABOUT GOD
By Dr. Hoyt W.
Allen, Jr.
The following
article came to me
recently and I
contended that I
should pass it on.
It has been slightly
edited and a
conclusion added.
1) A Sunday school
teacher asked her
class, "What was
Jesus' mother's
name?" One child
answered, "Mary."
The teacher then
asked, "Who knows
what Jesus' father's
name was?" A little
kid said, "Verge."
Confused, the
teacher asked,
"Where did you get
that?" The kid said,
"Well, you know they
are always talking
about Verge n' Mary.
2) Three year-old,
Reese: “Our Father,
Who does art in
heaven, Harold is
His name. Amen”
3) A little boy was
overheard praying:
"Lord, if you can't
make me a better
boy, don't worry
about it. I'm having
a real good time as
I am."
4) After the
christening of his
baby brother in
church, Jason sobbed
all the way home in
the back seat of the
car. His father
asked him three
times what was
wrong. Finally, the
boy replied,
"That preacher said
he wanted us brought
up in a Christian
home, and I wanted
to stay with you
guys."
5) I had been
teaching my
three-year old
daughter, Caitlin,
the Lord's Prayer
for several evenings
at bedtime, she
would repeat after
me the lines from
the prayer. Finally,
she decided to go
solo.
I listened with
pride as she
carefully enunciated
each word right up
to the end of the
prayer: "Lead us not
into temptation,"
she prayed,
"but deliver us some
E-mail.
6) One particular
four-year-old
prayed, "And forgive
us our trash baskets
as we forgive those
who put trash in our
baskets."
7) A Sunday school
teacher asked her
children, as they
were on the way to
church service, "And
why is it necessary
to be quiet in
church?" One bright
little girl replied,
"Because people are
sleeping."

8) Six-year-old
Angie and her
four-year-old
brother Joel were
sitting together in
church. Joel
giggled, sang, and
talked out loud.
Finally, his big
sister had enough.
"You're not supposed
to talk out loud in
church." "Why? Who's
going to stop me?"
Joel asked.
Angie pointed to the
back of the church
and said, "See those
two men standing by
the door? They're
hushers."
9) A mother was
preparing pancakes
for her sons, Kevin,
5 and
Ryan 3. The boys
began to argue over
who would get the
first pancake. Their
mother saw the
opportunity for a
moral lesson.
"If Jesus were
sitting here, He
would say, 'Let my
brother have the
first pancake, I can
wait.'" Kevin turned
to his younger
brother and said,
"Ryan, you be
Jesus!"
10) A father was at
the beach with his
children when the
four-year-old son
ran up to him,
grabbed his hand,
and led him to the
shore where a
seagull lay dead in
the sand. "Daddy,
what happened to
him?" the son asked.
"He died and went to
Heaven," the Dad
replied. The boy
thought a moment and
then said, "Did God
throw him back
down?"
11) A wife invited
some people to
dinner. At the
table, she turned to
their six-year-old
daughter and said,
"Would you like to
say the blessing?"
"I wouldn't know
what to say," the
girl replied. "Just
say what you hear
Mommy say," the wife
answered. The
daughter bowed her
head and said,
"Lord, why on earth
did I invite all
these people to
dinner?"
Children are a
blessing to parents
who desire to follow
God’s plan for their
life. That plan is
one man and one
woman to be united
in holy wedlock
under God’s union.
They are to build
their marriage on
love and respect for
one another. True
love will carry them
through any crisis
which comes down
their path.
Plainly, don’t get
short changed. Let’s
be ready to meet our
Maker. The Bible (in
Acts) teaches that
to avoid hell and
gain heaven - one
must:
1) Believe In Jesus
As Savior (16:31) 2)
Repent Of Sins
(17:30)
3) Confess Christ
Audibly (8:37) 4) Be
Baptized In Water
(2:38)
5) Live A Christian
Life (14:22) 6) Be
Active In the Church
(2:47)
