Three random questions my kids have asked me in the past few days:
Rebecca: "Mummy, when I get to heaven, will I see the Holy Spirit?"
Jacob: "Why weren't there any girl disciples?"
Jacob: "Mummy, I think there must be something wrong with my heart. Why do I keep sinning?"

Oh that last one is just classic!
I'd love to hear how you responded to these questions...
And Nicole said........?
I'm really appreciating your site - thanks.
sparky has said something similar to no 3 - you might remember my blog post about it! We spoke about romans 7! and I've already had to explain the Trinity and the Holy Spirit! And I found my theology study and teaching experience came in very handy (though I needed to rephrase......)
I'm new to your blog and really enjoying it, Nicole! This post just made me smile, I wonder if my little guy will start asking me questions like that someday soon!
That is so exciting Nic.
I am thankful for the Moore College external studies courses. I must plod through their subjects very slowly (depending on morning sickness, new babies, general fatigue), but I am using what I learn every day. I have found it to be a way of studying theology with flexibility and without pressure. The subjects are sound theologically, substantial, but not bulky. And (slowly) studying theology with small children around keeps one grounded!
Lynne and Girlonfire - I was hoping that no one would ask me how I answered them! I still haven't actually worked out my answer to the 1st one!
I should have also mentioned that I get the 3rd question often from Jacob. He is very aware of sin in his life (and tried hard to fight against it).
And Cathy - external studies sounds like a great way to get your head around some more meaty theology! I really like that idea.
I thought of the third question -
a) here's a boy who has been well training by his parents to understand himself before God.
b) It also sounds very Romans 7
c) I'd be feeling grateful that God has given him that understanding and trust in God.
So well done mum and dad!
