Children Explain God

    One of God's main jobs is making people. He makes them to replace the ones that die so there will be enough people to take care of things here on earth.

    He doesn't make grown-ups, just babies. I think because they are smaller and easier to make. That way, He doesn't have to take up His valuable time teaching them to talk and walk, He can just leave that to mothers and fathers.

    God's second most important job is listening to prayers. An awful lot of this goes on, since some people, like preachers and things, pray at times besides bedtime. God doesn't have time to listen to the radio or TV on account of this.

    God sees everything and hears everything and is everywhere, which keeps Him pretty busy. So you shouldn't go wasting His time by going over your parent's head asking for something they said you couldn't have.

    Atheists are people who don't believe in God. I don't think there are any in Chula Vista. At least there aren't any who come to our church.


    Jesus is God's Son. He used to do all the hard work like walking on water and performing miracles and trying to teach the people who didn't want to learn about God. They finally got tired of Him preaching to them and they killed Him.

    But He was good and kind like His Father and He told His Father that they didn't know what they were doing and to forgive them and God said OK.

    His Dad (God) appreciated everything that He had done all His hard work on earth so He told Him He didn't have to go out on the road anymore, He could stay in heaven. So He did.

    You can pray anytime you want and they are sure to hear you because they got it worked out so one of them is on duty all the times.

    It is good to know He's around you when you're scared in the dark or when you can't swim very good and you get thrown into real deep water by big kids.

    Since He hears everything, not only prayers, there must be a terrible lot of noise in His ears, unless He has thought of a way to turn it off.
