GNC student comes with some great questions


When Good News Club at Troy Crossroads met this week, it was so great to see more kids attending the club. After the previous week of one student it was a joy to see four more kids join. One of these kids is Richard. When Richard first came in he was a little reserved. He was not sure what was going on. After realizing that GNC was a club about God, Richard got into the club. You could tell he was listening because he was asking some deep questions. As I was talking about the Wonder Devotional Book and the importance of reading the Bible daily, Richard asked "If I already know the Bible, why do I have to read it?" Then, later on when talking about why God allows bad things to happen, Richard said "God allows bad things to happen because He has a purpose."
Then out of the clear blue sky, Richard asked "Why do some people worship on Saturday, the Sabbath, and Sunday, the Lord's Day?" I really enjoyed being able to answer these questions. Clearly, Richard knows alot about God and I believe is a believer. What an awesome privilege it is to have such a great opportunity to help young Richard to grow in his Christian life. Pray with me as we continue this GNC that Richard would get excited and desire to get to know God personally.
