Are you sure these are 4th-6th Graders?

Tonight - I stopped by to visit the 4th to 6th grade class that's part of our Wednesday program.

They were having a discussion about God. Not just any "God loves you" discussion - but an in depth, heart of who God is - discussion.

The teacher is talking about prayer with them, and was talking about how you can't alter God.

Suddenly there are questions that are very, very deep and thought out.

Questions about "if we worship God using the cross - can the cross become an idol?" and talking about if you can destroy God - by destroying the "ideal of God." That is - if someone were to wipe out all remnants of God, and/or all people who believe in God - would that destroy God.

These were amazing questions. AMAZING.

And here I thought 4th-6th graders want to play games!

okay - so maybe I didn't see God there - but I saw faith. Kids with faith and learning about that faith and who God is.
