A New Year-the Old Testament

For the past four Sundays our class has been talking about the Israelites in the desert.  This is the video we made of those lessons.

King Herod

Herod had always benn mad. Some say it ran in the family. His sons were mad as well. When he heard about Jesus being born, he was terrified. If he was the King of the Jews, what would become of him? He asked the Magis where Jesus was, but they refused to tell him. He decided that he would have evry male child and every child under the age of 2 dead. Once Jesus was born, Herod died soon after and his son, also named Herod, took over. He was the one who questioned Jesus at his death trial.

Law of Human Nature

Wrong and Right, a photo by Claire_Sambrook on Flickr.

For everyone who says God does not exist, think of this for a change. You have a sense of right and wrong. It's as if it was just inside of you when you were born. You have a feeling inside of you that we call guilt when we do something wrong. We know when we do something right and something wrong. Who told you the difference between right and wrong? You may say nobody, but surely you don't just magically know something. It says in Luther's Small Catechism that God wrote the law in our hearts. This explains everything! So for everyone who says there's no proof of God, think again.

End of All Things?

A lot of people think that the Earth will end on a certain date because of the Mayans. Lots of people also think that because some person says the Earth will end means that it will. I have "survived" the "end of the Earth" twice in one year if that's true. I have "survived" the "Rapture".
I don't think that the Earth will end on December 21st. There has been many other suposed end of Earth's and nothing has happened! Maybe the Mayans thought that if they just ended on that day, they would have more knowledge by that time to know when the ACTUAL day will be.
The next time you hear of some "end of days", think twice about whether or not it's true.
