Having smart kids can sometimes be really troubling, because they really put you on the spot. This week my oldest, Claire, who is 5, asked me, “Dad, why did God make Lucifer?” At first I just laughed, because truthfully, the “big” questions that she’s been asking are the same questions I tussle with in my own journey in the Word of God. Another incident this week, again with Claire, was a question about Cain and Abel. “Dad,” she asked, “why did God like Abel’s sacrifice and not Cain’s?” Again my response was laughter. She has learned so much at the Point and in the kid’s classes that we offer. The amazing part is that she is dealing with some “big” questions. Ironically, I’ve been teaching through the book of Genesis for the past 10 weeks and examining the same “big” questions from the Word of God. I was so glad to have answers to her questions, not because I’m a Bible guru, but because the material was fresh in my mind from the Institute. Wherever you are in your journey with God and in his crazy life, realize that God’s Word holds all, absolutely all, the answers to the “big” questions that life poses. When you can’t find an answer, turn to the Word of God. In 2 Timothy, Paul explains how amazing the word of God really is. He writes, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be complete, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” Why do we have the Institute? Small Groups? Preaching? Because the Word of God is the only source of truth and hope we have to depend on.
