Disciples of Christ

"If I sold my house and my car, had a big garage sale and gave all my money to the church, would that get me into Heaven?" I asked the children during my children’s time in worship.

"NO!" the children all answered.

"If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the yard, and kept everything neat and tidy, would that get me into Heaven?"

Again, the answer was, "NO!"

"Well, then, if I was kind to animals and gave candy to all the children and loved my wife, would that get me into Heaven?" I asked them again.

Again, they all answered, "NO!"

"Well," I continued, "then how can I get into Heaven?" A five-year-old boy shouted out, "YOU GOTTA BE DEAD."

“Yes, I guess that is true, but… does anything we do while we’re alive help us get into heaven?” I asked.

And a young girl about six-years-old said, “You got to love Jesus and pray… a lot.”

Out of the mouths of our children come real words of wisdom.
