Your Childlike Faith
by Connie Faust → (All Poetry by Connie Faust)

No, I am not a scientist, and scientists are not God. They know a lot, but much of what they portray as facts are theories. I am not a theologian either, and do not have the mental faculties to debate on science vs theology. I can refer you to men like Ravi Zachariah and others, who could make you choke on your strong-held beliefs. Meanwhile, I hold fast to my childlike faith.

A little child doesn't let the scientists decide.
Their foolish theories matter not;
He knows the truth inside!

He sees the wonders of the earth --
The grass . . . the sea . . . the sky.
It all makes sense as he believes
That God's the reason why.

It's only as we grow in age
And leave the days of youth
That we will strain and wrestle
And deny authentic truth.

The teachings of the learned
Tell us nothing comes from nought,

And somehow, wrapped in lofty speech,
Lies are the gospel we're taught.

Still, God keeps on pursuing
And speaks in various ways;
He shouts in storms and thunderings ~
And whispers in a million ways.

The sights that thrilled us as mere babes
Are still before our eyes;
He has not left us clueless,
Though He's often in disguise.

So open up your heart to God
And seek Him while you may;
Believe as a little child ~
Jesus is the one, true Way!


When thou saidst,
                       "Seek my face!"
my heart said unto thee:
                      "Thy face, LORD, will I seek"

I ENJOYED THIS ENTIRELY, CONNIE! THIS POEM SHINES A LIGHT ON JESUS' TEACHING; 'UNLESS ONE BECOMES AS A CHILD(W/ CHILDLIKE FAITH), THEY CANNOT ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN'. MY DEAR SISTER IN CHRIST...THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

It is certainly time we grew up and assumed responsibility for what we are doing to our home, our earth. So many rely on their childhood faith to explain things, saying that they will just do nothing and let God do what is prophecied. In other words, let our parents take the blame for our behavior. Convenient, but does not solve our problems that will take the best science there is, theory or not, to overcome our excess often justified as required by our faith.

When God was in schools there were no shootings, but when America took God away from school, the shootings began. The children need to be protected by God.

As for myself....in the debate of science vs. theology....And as I have said to many people, including my pastors....The message of God, Jesus and The Holy Spirit is very simple....Why do people try to turn that simple message into "rocket science" when it's very easy to understand.
