Bible Class News

Our children are learning much about the Lord and His church in our weekly Bible classes. As the weeks and months go by, they are understanding how important God's Word is and how it must be followed. Recently I posed a question to my Wednesday evening middle school class. Realizing that within our class we had students who are Christians and those who are not, I asked this question: "Why are you a Christian?" They sat for a few moments literally searching their souls for an answer. Foreheads were wrinkled and hands rested on chins until a couple of them offered a few comments. Within a few seconds we were all deep into a discussion that lasted the entire period. I asked them to briefly write an answer to my question for this week's bulletin. I hope you enjoy their brief comments as much as I have.
