Dylan's Corner

I have a 4 year old grand daughter, Dylan. She is at the age where she is coming up with some great questions for "PaPa Kent" about God and Jesus.  Her questions are so innocent and deep, I am going to start a "Dylan's Corner" where I attempt to answer some of her amazing questions. So here are the first two.

Question 1.) Why do we need builders if God made everything?
Well that is a great observation. PaPa Kent did say at one time, "God made everything!" So let me clarify. God made everything that builders use to make other things. That would be more accurate. It doesn't matter if we are talking about cars, rocket ships, houses, playground equipment, toys, everything builders use to make "things" was originally made by God. God makes all the raw materials we need to make all other things.  Dylan's response to that answer, "OOHHH!"

Question 2.) How does God make People? 
Oh this is such a good one!  Although I still haven't been able to explain it effectively to Dylan. So I will try my best with the rest of you. God the creator of all things, created a man and a woman a long time ago.  He called the man Adam, and the woman Eve. He gave this man and woman some of His creative powers. He gave each of them the ability to create people. He gave almost everyone of us the ability to create other people if we choose to. The bible says we are created in Gods own image which means he gave us many of the same attributes that God has. But with that ability to create, he also gave us instructions of how to create people so that we become loving, caring families. Just like you and your mom and your dad are a loving, caring family. God gave us the ability to create other people, and He also gave us the ability to create other things, like cars, and televisions, and phones, and airplanes. He gave us a mind that allows us to be creative. But we must be careful with this creative power because it can be used to create wonderful things or bad things. That is why it is so important for people to know God, our creator, and to learn His ways of doing things. He wants us to be happy, blessed, and to create things that will make other people happy and blessed. This is a responsibility that He has given to each of us. You and I have been given the ability to create just like our creator! What an awesome blessing and responsibility.

More of Dylan's corner will come in the future as she continues to "Think" about the things of God!

NEWS:  Brad Joiner is home safe. He is going to need time to recover but we are glad he is back home. I will have more on his epic adventure soon.

This Coming Sunday, God willing and the creek don't rise or some other thing, we will resume our worship and talk more about our creative powers. PCF, with the help of the Holy Spirit, has the "potential" to make a positive impact in many lives. "What will we create?"

See you soon! Love, pastor kent
