When people swear, it sh

You can pray to God anytime!Many people pray before they eat a meal or before they go to bed. These are good times to pray and be thankful, but they aren’t the only times you can pray. You can pray to God anytime, as David prayed at evening, morning, and noon (Psalm 55:17). Jesus often got up early to pray and stayed up late to pray (Mark 1:35; Luk

Modesty is the act of being respectful of others by not being overly proud or drawing attention to ourselves.To be modest is to respect others.

Some people believe that ghosts are the spirits of people who have died. The Bible says this is not true.The Bible tells us that we should not believe in ghosts. It says, "People have to die once. After that, God will judge them" (Hebrews 9:27). Christians who die, go to heaven. People who aren’t children of God are taken to a place to wait for God

No, we should only worship and pray to God.God created angels and people for His own glory. Angels serve God and worship Him. Angels can help people, but only at God’s command. They don’t come to help us because we pray to them.God created angels with wisdom and power, but only God is all-knowing and all-powerful, so only He can understand and answ

God's Word, the Bible, tells us how to respond when we are tempted to sin and disobey God.This is a great question, because every day we are faced with temptation. The Bible is our biggest help! In Psalm 119:11 says, "I have hidden your word in my heart so that I won`t sin against you." Reading and memorizing God’s Word will help us stand against t

God does not want us to be ashamed of the gospel or scared to tell others that we believe in Him.Romans 1:16 says, "I am not ashamed of the good news. It is God’s power. And it will save everyone who believes..."Have you ever been ashamed? The word ashamed means to feel bad or embarrassed because of someone’s actions or beliefs. You might have been

The Bible tells us how to please God.God wants us to do what is right. We can know right from wrong by reading the Bible.

This

This is a decision you should only make with the help of God and your parents.Ask yourself, "Would Jesus want me to have a boyfriend/girlfriend at my age?" He loves you more than anyone in the world, and wants the very best for you. He probably wouldn’t choose for you to have more than a simple friendship at your age with anyone of the opposite sex

Since God has given us everything we have and provides for us every day, it's important to thank Him when we pray.Prayer is conversation with God.

God can speak to you in dreams, but He normally doesn’t.God spoke to people in their dreams in the past. Some of the people God spoke to in dreams were Daniel, Joseph, and Solomon. However, God normally doesn’t speak to us through dreams today. Instead, He speaks to us through the Bible. If you believe God spoke to you in a dream, weigh it against

No, we do not become angels when we die.Angels and human beings are both very different from each other. God created angels as angels and humans as humans. Angels were not humans before they became angels. When a Christian dies, we are automatically with God. Our body is dead, but our spirit is alive and goes to be with Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:8). W

We should show our love to others through our actions.The Bible says, "What is love? It is not that we loved God. It is that he loved us and sent his Son to give his life to pay for our sins" (1 John 4:10). True love is not found in us, it’s found in God!Since God is the source of love, He shows us that to love one another is to sacrifice for the o

Parents aren’t perfect and sometimes they get upset.When kids disobey their parents, sometimes parents get mad. Good parents want their kids to make right choices and do what is right. When kids make bad choices, sometimes the parents respond in anger because they are frustrated.Not all anger is sin. There is a type of anger called "righteous anger

God sees our needs and knows what is best.You might pray for a beautiful sunny day so you can play outside with your friends. At the same time, your parents might pray for rain so that your family’s lawn will grow. Who will God answer? Both people praying have good requests, but they are opposite of each other.God is all-powerful. He is wise and kn

Our bodies are a gift from God and He wants us take the best possible care of them.Sometimes you might think you need to lose weight. Self-image is something a lot of kids struggle with, but God doesn’t want us to worry about our appearances. Philippians 4:6 says, "Don’t worry about anything. Instead, tell God about everything. Ask and pray. Give t

To walk with God means we stay in a close relationship with Him.Many people in the Bible are said to have “walked with God.” Enoch and Noah are two examples (Genesis 5:24; 6:9).
