Do you believe things happen for a reason (destiny/fate) or are they just random? Why do you believe this?
This was the journal topic of the day that my parapro picked out...sparked some great discussion -- because what you believe is the answer to this question literally affects every waking moment of your life.
Some questions the kids raised and/or we raised in response to their thoughts....
1) Is there someone even out there making a plan?
2) How do we know that plan is good for us?
3) How do we know what is good and/or evil?
4) How do you know what you believe is right?
5) How do you know that religion wasn't just created to keep everyone happy and not go around killing people?
6) What would happen if we got what we really deserved?
7) How do we know what the Bible says is true?
8) Where do choice versus God's plan for our lives intersect?
9) Do we really have a choice in what we do each day or has God already planned it all out? -- And if He already knows what we are going to do, why doesn't he stop us from making bad decisions if he really loves us?
10) Where do we get hope?
This is a sampling from the 4 different classes, but I was excited to see some of them actually thinking through spiritual things and wrestling with some deeper ideas -- and some genuine interest in some in investigating and finding out the truth. Lord, help them to see you...
