Bible Stories for Kids-NOAH AND THE ARK

Thursday, October 11th, 2012

After God had banished Cain to the Land of Nod for killing his brother Abel, God blessed Adam and Eve with another child whom they named Seth. Adam and Eve lived many years, but at last they died, as God had said they would because they had eaten the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil that God had forbidden them to eat.

By the time Adam died, there were many people on the earth; for the children of Adam and Eve had many other children; and when these children grew up they had other children; and they had children also. These men and women and children lived in tents. They owned sheep and cattle and they moved with them to wherever they could find good pasture. The children played around the tent doors and sat beside the camp-fires in the evenings, where they all sang songs together. The older people told them stories about God and Adam and Eve and how their family began.  After many generations Adam and Eve’s family had grown and many people filled the land.

The Bible tells us that as the years passed many of these people became wicked, as fewer and fewer of them grew up knowing and believing in God. All the people lived in the same land and few went away to other lands; so it came to pass that even the children of good men and women became bad, like the people around them and they no longer did what was right and good in God’s sight.

And as God looked down on the world that he had made, he saw how wicked the people had become and that every thought and every act of man was evil and God became very sad.

There were some good people however but they were very few.  The best of all these people who lived at that time was a man whose name was Enoch. He was not the son of Cain, but another Enoch, who came from the family of Seth, the son of Adam, who was born after the death of Abel. While so many around Enoch were doing evil, this man did only what was good in God’s sight. He walked with God and God walked with him and talked to him. At last when Enoch was 365 years old and weary with life, God took him up into to heaven. Enoch did not die as all the people have died since Adam disobeyed God, but was taken up to heaven from earth without dying.

Not all the people during the time of Enoch were shepherds, some of them had learned how to make bows and arrows and axes and ploughs and after a long time they learned how to melt iron to make knives and swords and dishes to use in their homes. They sowed grain in the fields and reaped harvests, and they planted vines and fruit trees.

During this time, the people of the earth had become increasingly wicked and evil and God looked down on the earth and was sad because the people were evil, cruel  and violent in their thoughts, actions and deeds and it broke God’s heart. So God said, “I will completely wipe out this human race that I have created, and all the birds and animals too, I am sorry I ever made them because the men of the world are evil, and do evil continually.”

But even in those bad times God saw one good man. His name was Noah.  Noah was the great-grandson of Enoch. Noah loved God and did right in the sight of God like Enoch.  Noah had three sons and their names were Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

One day, God spoke to Noah and said, “I have decided to destroy all living creatures, for the earth is filled with violence because of them”. But I solemnly swear to keep you and your wife and your sons and their wives you and your family shall be saved, because you alone are trying to do right.”

Then God told Noah that he was to build an Ark which is a very big ship; very long and very wide and very deep with a roof over it to float on the water.  God told Noah to build this ark, and to have it ready for the time when he would need it.

“For,” said God to Noah, “I am going to bring a great flood of water on the earth to cover all the land and to drown all the people on the earth. And as the animals on the earth will be drowned with the people, you must make the ark large enough to hold a pair of each kind of animals and several pairs of some animals that are needed by men, like sheep and goats and oxen; so that there will be animals as well as men to live upon the earth after the flood has passed away. And you must take in the ark food for yourself and your family, and for all the animals with you; enough food to last for a year, while the flood shall stay on the earth.”

And Noah did what God told him to do, although it must have seemed very strange to all the people around, to build this great ark where there was no water for it to sail upon. And it was a long time, because this ship was so big, that Noah and his sons were at work building the ark, which God had told them to build, while the wicked people around wondered, and no doubt laughed at Noah for building a great ship where there was no sea.

At last the ark was finished, and stood like a great house on the land.  There was a door on one side, and a window on the roof, to let in the light. Then God said to Noah:

“Come into the ark, you and your wife, and your three sons, and their wives with them; for the flood of waters will come very soon. And take with you animals of all kinds, and birds, and things that creep; seven pairs of these that will be needed by men, and one pair of all the rest, so that all kinds of animals may be kept alive upon the earth.”

So Noah and his wife, and his three sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, with their wives, went into the ark. And God brought to the door of the ark the animals, and the birds, and the creeping things of all kinds; and they went into the ark. And Noah and his sons put them in their places, and brought in food enough to feed them all for many days. And then the door of the ark was shut and no more people and no more animals could come in.

In a few days the rain began to fall, as it had never rained before. It seemed as though the heavens were opened to pour great floods upon the earth. The streams filled, and the rivers rose higher and higher, and the ark began to float on the water. The people left their houses and ran up to the hills; but soon the hills were covered, and all the people on them were drowned.

Some had climbed up to the tops of higher mountains, but the water rose higher and higher, until even the mountains were covered and all the people, wicked as they had been, were drowned in the great sea that now rolled over all the earth where man had lived. And all the animals, the tame animals, cattle, and sheep, and oxen, were drowned; and the wild animals, lions, and tigers, and all the rest were drowned also. Even the birds were drowned, for their nests in the trees were swept away, and there was no place where they could fly from the terrible storm. For forty days and nights the rain kept on, until there was no breath of life remaining outside of the ark.

After forty days the rain stopped, but the water stayed upon the earth for more than six months, and the ark with all that were in it floated over the great sea that covered the land. Then God sent a wind to blow over the waters, and to dry them up; so by degrees the waters grew less and less. First mountains rose above the waters, then the hills rose up, and finally the ark ceased to float and lay aground on a mountain which is called Mount Ararat.

But Noah could not see what had happened on the earth, because the door was shut, and the only window was up in the roof. But he felt that the ark was no longer moving, and he knew that the water must have gone down. So, after waiting for a time, Noah opened a window, and let loose a bird called a raven. Now the raven has strong wings; and this raven flew round and round until the waters had gone down, and it could find a place to rest, and it did not come back to the ark.

After Noah had waited for it awhile, he sent out a dove; but the dove could not find any place to rest, so it flew back to the ark, and Noah took it into the ark again. Then Noah waited a week longer, and afterward he sent out the dove again. And at the evening, the dove came back to the ark, which was its home; and in its bill was a fresh leaf which it had picked off from an olive tree.

So Noah knew that the water had gone down enough to let the trees grow again. He waited another week, and sent out the dove again; but this time the dove flew away and never came back. And Noah knew that the earth was becoming dry again. So he took off a part of the roof, and looked out, and saw that there was dry land all around the ark, and the waters were no longer everywhere.

Noah had now lived in the ark a little more than a year, and he was glad to see the green land and the trees once more. And God said to Noah:

“Come out of the Ark, with your wife, and your sons, and their wives, and all the living things that are with you in the Ark.” So Noah opened the door of the ark, and with his family came out, and stood once more on the ground. And the animals, and birds, and creeping things in the ark, came out also, and began again to bring life to the earth.

The first thing that Noah did when he came out of the Ark, was to give thanks to God for saving all his family when the rest of the people on the earth were destroyed. He built an altar, and laid upon it an offering to the Lord, and gave himself and his family to God and promised to do God’s will.

And God was pleased with Noah’s offering, and God said: “I will never again destroy the earth on account of men, no matter how bad they may be. From this time no flood shall again cover the earth; but the seasons of spring and summer and fall and winter, shall remain without change. I give to you the earth; you shall be the rulers of the ground and of every living thing upon it.”

Then God caused a rainbow to appear in the sky, and he told Noah and his sons that whenever they or the people after them should see the rainbow, they should remember that God had placed it in the sky and over the clouds as a sign of his promise, that he would always remember the earth, and the people upon it, and would never again send a flood to destroy man from the earth.

So as often as we see the beautiful rainbow, we are to remember that it is the sign of God’s promise to the world.

Bible Stories for Kids-Adam and Eve

Bible Stories for Kids

The first man’s name was Adam and his wife he named Eve as she is the mother of all people. They lived in a beautiful Garden away in the East Country which was called Eden, filled with beautiful trees and flowers of all kinds but they did not live in Eden for long as they did not obey God’s command, but ate the fruit of a tree which had been forbidden them.

They were driven forth by an angel and had to give up their beautiful home. So Adam and his wife went out into the world to live and to work. For a time they were all alone, but after a while God gave them a little child of their own, the first baby that ever came into the world. Eve named him Cain; and after a time another baby came, whom she named Abel. When the two boys grew up, they worked, as their father worked before them. Cain, the older brother, chose to work in the fields, and to raise grain and fruits. Abel, the younger brother, had a flock of sheep and became a shepherd.

While Adam and Eve were living in the Garden of Eden, they could talk with God and hear God’s voice speaking to them. But now that they were out in the world, they could no longer talk with God freely, as before.  So when they came to God, they built an altar of stones heaped up, and upon it, they laid something as a gift to God, and burned it, to show that it was not their own, but was given to God, whom they could not see.

Then before the altar they made their prayer to God, and asked God to forgive their sins, all that they had done was wrong; and prayed God to bless them and do good to them. Each of these brothers, Cain and Abel, offered upon the altar to God his own gift. Cain brought the fruits and the grain which he had grown; and Abel brought his best sheep from his flock, and killed it and burned it upon the altar.

God was pleased with Abel and his offering, but was not pleased with Cain and his offering. God knew Cain’s offering was not the best that he had; perhaps Cain’s heart was not right when he came before God. And God showed that He was not pleased with Cain; and Cain, instead of being sorry for his sin, and asking God to forgive him, was very angry with God, and angry also toward his brother Abel.

When they were out in the field together Cain struck his brother Abel and killed him. So the first baby in the world grew up to be the murderer of his own brother. And the Lord said to Cain, “Where is Abel, your brother?”

And Cain answered, “I do not know; why should I take care of my brother?” Then the Lord said to Cain, “What is this that you have done? Your brother’s blood is like a voice crying to me from the ground. Do you see how the ground has opened, like a mouth, to drink your brother’s blood?  As long as you live, you shall be under God’s curse for the murder of your brother. You shall wander over the earth, and shall never find a home, because you have done this wicked deed.” And Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is greater than I can bear, you have driven me out from among men; and you have hidden your face from me, If any man finds me he will kill me, because I shall be alone, and no one will be my friend.” And God said to Cain, “If any one harms you, he shall be punished for it.” And the Lord God placed a mark on Cain, so that whoever met him should know him and should know also that God had forbidden any man to harm him.

Then Cain went away from Adam’s home to live in a place by himself, there he met his wife and they had children. Cain’s family built a city in that land; and Cain named the city after his first child, whom he had called Enoch.

What is the importance of the Cross to our faith?

Tuesday, April 19th, 2011

On this Easter Week, may we remind ourselves the love of God and His saving Grace. Using this article by Philip Yancey, may we rekindle our love for Our Saviour. Amen.

Since Jesus’ death nearly 2,000 years ago, theologians such as Origen, Anselm of Canterbury, Peter Abelard, and John Calvin have proposed ways of understanding it: as a Ransom paid to Satan, a Satisfaction required by God, a Moral Influence for humanity, a Penal Substitution for the punishment due to humankind. Some of these theories, referencing animal sacrifices and God’s wrath, can make for a hard sell for many in modern times.

The Cross is the central image of Christianity, and gives us vivid proof that, in novelist Flannery O’Connor’s words, the world “has, for all its horror, been found by God to be worth dying for.” Yet theologians must somehow explain how Jesus’ death differs in essence from the death of any great leader. What made it necessary, and exactly how did it affect our relationship with God?

During Holy Week one year, I found myself reflecting not so much on the theoretical rationale for the Atonement as on its practical outworking. Three insights from that week:

(1) The Cross made possible a new intimacy with God. Three of the Gospels mention that at the moment of Jesus’ death, a thick curtain inside the temple tore from top to bottom, exposing the Most Holy Place. Traditionally, only once a year, on the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), could the high priest enter the fearsome Most Holy Place. Preparations involved ritual baths, special clothes, and five separate animal sacrifices, and still the priest entered with apprehension about committing an offense. He wore bells on his robe and a rope around his ankle so that if the bells fell silent, other priests could retrieve his body.

The Book of Hebrews draws a vivid contrast: the author says believers can now “approach the throne of grace with confidence” (4:16). No image could be more shocking for devout Jews than charging boldly into the Most Holy Place. Therefore, concludes the author of Hebrews, “let us draw near to God” (10:22). Because of Jesus, we need no protective curtain; God has provided a sufficient Mediator for all time.

While visiting the United States in 1962, theologian Karl Barth faced a questioner intent on pinning down exactly when he had been saved. Barth replied, “It happened one afternoon in A.D. 34 when Jesus died on the cross.” Love finds a way to overcome all obstacles to uniting with the beloved, no matter the cost.

(2) The Cross reveals the limits of human achievement. Paul wrote, “And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross” (Col. 2:15). Pontius Pilate had Jesus’ “crime”—King of the Jews—posted in three languages, in ironic tribute to the travesty of justice. A public spectacle it was indeed when the most refined religious authorities of the time ganged up on an innocent man, and the most renowned justice system carried out the sentence.

Writer Thomas Merton points out that “no one saw the Resurrection. Everyone saw the Crucifixion. Everyone does see the Crucifixion. The Cross is everywhere.” It should give us pause, this sign of contradiction, when we are tempted to look to politics or science to solve the deepest problems of humanity. Christ exposed as false gods the very powers in which men and women take most pride and invest most hope.

(3) The Cross brings to light an unexpected quality of the Godhead: humility. As Paul expressed in Philippians 2: “Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing … he humbled himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross!” (v. 5-8). The poor and disadvantaged respond by instinct to this personal identification: witness the sermons in Appalachia or the base communities in Latin America that center on the Cross. Novelists know it too: Graham Greene, Georges Bernanos, and Ignazio Silone all made the sacrament commemorating Jesus’ death the centerpiece of their finest works.

Whatever else we may say about it, the Atonement fulfills the Jewish principle that only one who has been hurt can forgive. At Calvary, God chose to be hurt.

Decorating the Nursery

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

Choosing the baby room furniture is an vital part of planning and decorating your baby’s room. There are many options available when it comes to baby furniture, so you should to decide what functions you want the furniture to serve before you settle on the pieces for your baby’s room. How expanded do you plan to use the furniture? Do you want to use it for more than one baby? Do you want furniture pieces that will convert and grow with your child?

The baby crib is the most key piece of furniture for the baby room. When purchasing a crib, you have many options available to you. Standard, convertible, iron, round, and portable cribs are just a few of the styles available. A standard crib is typically the most affordable, starting at around $100. Round cribs have become more popular in recent years and can be great particularly for awkward floor plans but keep in mind that your bedding selections will be more limited than with a traditionally shaped crib. The same goes for portable size cribs which can be great whether you have limited square footage to work with. Hand painted and designer cribs are plus options but expect to pay more for these baby room furniture pieces. On the upside, many of these beautiful cribs could easily become family heirlooms.

A dresser and/or changing table is plus another fundamental baby room furniture item. You can get a combo piece that works as both or purchase each piece individually. The dresser is critical for providing storage for baby clothes and the changing table provides a designated changing and diapering area. whether you get a furniture piece that is a combination of the two, you can convert the changing table part when your baby outgrows the need for it and continue to use it in their room as they grow.

A glider and ottoman or a rocking chair are plus great furniture pieces to have in the baby room. They supply a place to sit not only during late night feedings but plus when you just want to spend some quality date cuddling and bonding with the baby. A toy box and bookcase are other furniture items you might consider for the baby room. Both will supply much needed storage for the many items a baby requires and will help keep the room organized and tidy.

If you plan to use the furniture for several years, considering spending a little additional on the pieces you purchase. Spending a few additional dollars now will likely get you sturdier furniture that is more likely to resist the years of wear and tear a baby and young child may cause.
