If the sun was only 12 inches in dia. Part 2

Our last planet (Pluto, a dwarf planet) was just a dot in our scale model, and it was almost a mile away from our 12 inch in diameter sun. At this scale we would have had to go to Egypt to get to the nearest star Alpha Centauri, or circumvent the globe 1,432 times to get to the center of the Milky Way Galaxy.

“I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their hosts have I commanded.” Isaiah 45:12

This is the site we used to help us build our scale model. http://www.exploratorium.edu/ronh/solar_system/index.html

Contending for my faith with my little children

Gregg Rozeboom — Sat, 26 Feb 2011 13:53:16 +0000

Over the holiday season I bumped into a college classmate I hadn’t seen or talked to since leaving Bible school in June of 2002. I told him about my kids, about the Bible lessons I do with them in the evenings. He interrupted, “You started in the beginning, with creation. You were always big on that.”

I smiled, he was right. I had started in Genesis 1:1.

It’s been six months now doing almost nightly lessons with my children and we’ve made it all the way to Genesis 1:19. It’s been a blast! We’ve recorded many of the lessons and the kids ask to listen to them as they go to bed.

I read this line in a Wall Street Journal article from last week, “Most of us produced our best art, asked our deepest philosophical questions… when we were mere children.” Amen. I don’t always take questions from my kids, but when I do I often find myself contending for my faith.

Of course, I’m not contending with those who are contentious, but rather with those who, “Need to know what is true.” (see below my journal entry from 1.15.11)

“A couple nights ago we were watching a video about the sun done by the History Channel. During the program they were talking about the history of the sun and JJ asked, “How do they know that what they are saying is true? Only God was there, He is the only one who knows how He made the sun… I need to know what is true and what is not true because I’m going to have to teach this to my children someday and I need to teach them the truth.”

So, I’m trying to teach my children the truth. It’s a big job, I’ve been on day 4 of creation for over a month now. JJ is 7, Elizabeth is 6, Elijah is 2, and Jeremiah is 11 months.

I welcome you to follow my postings as I contend for my faith with my little children.

Start a Small Group

The best way to learn how to contend for your faith is to study with a group. That’s why we need YOU to host your own group. You don’t need to be a bible expert, just someone willing to open up your home. Nathan will be leading the focus of the study, and you can study and discuss with the people around you. It’s the best way to learn – and we challenge YOU to do it. Email us if you have questions, for this is really the heart of this ministry and where we have witnessed the most success.

Welcome

Two years ago we started a bible study that focused on learning the word of God and contending for our faith. The young people involved were encouraged and pushed to be able to answer questions about their faith – with confidence that the word of God said so. So many of us grew leaps and bounds during this time – both in knowledge and confidence. Once a week we’ll meet together and have a panel of men and women gathered around the Word of God with the purpose of challenging each other to study, learn and grow in the word of truth. We are thrilled to show you what we are doing in the hopes that you can, in your own group of believers, whether it be friends family or church members, get together around the Word of God so that you can better contend for your faith.
