Are you saved?

This past Saturday some men met at the church to take down a Pecan tree that was too near the building that’s under construction. As these men worked Taylor, Noah, and Alex walked around in the woods behind the church. I’m not sure where it came from, but Taylor and Noah were relating some story about a robber living in the woods. Alex (age 12) asked the boys if they were afraid to walk around in the woods with a criminal on the loose, to which Noah (age 5) gave a profound reply. He looked at Alex and asked, “Are you saved?”

For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. Romans 8:15

Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise? Matthew 21:16

Out of the mouth of babes…

It’s amazing how perceptive children can be at times. Yesterday Taylor (age 7) asked his mother about a picture of the Pope he had seen somewhere. He asked if those two fingers he was holding up meant that he was lying! I guess he got that whole crossing the fingers behind one’s back and holding two fingers up in the air for peace a bit confused… Or maybe not.
