Theology on the Lighter Side – along with a serious point.
Twin seven-year-old boys were always getting into trouble. Their parents knew if any mischief was reported in town, the twins were probably involved. Their mother heard that a preacher in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually. The mother sent one boy in the morning, with the other boy to see the preacher in the afternoon.
The preacher, a huge man with a deep booming voice, sat the boy down and asked him sternly, “Do you know where God is, son?” The boy made no response, sitting there wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open. So the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner tone, “Where is God?!” Again, the boy made no attempt to answer.
The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy’s face and bellowed, “WHERE IS GOD?!” The boy screamed, ran directly home and hid in his closet. When his twin brother found him in the closet, he asked, “What happened?” His brother replied, “We are in BIG trouble this time! GOD is missing, and they think WE did it!”
Is God missing in your life?
Ecclesiastes 3:11 mentions that God places “eternity in man’s heart.” Of course we try to ignore a God who calls us to account for our sin and pride (Jeremiah 17:9, Ecclesiastes 9:3, Romans 8:7). Mankind attempts to fill that empty space with the toys and success of life, refusing to acknowledge that these are only temporary treasures.
Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal. - Matthew 6:19
The Lord may be missing in your life but that lack of fellowship is your choice, not His.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. - John 3:16
According to YouVersion, the most popular Scripture verse in 2025 was the same as four of the last six years …
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. - Isaiah 41:10
The only reason the Lord is missing in your life is because you are choosing to resist His loving call and His forgiveness. Reach out to Him through His Word, in prayer, in faith, in desperation.
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. - Ephesians 2:8-9
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. - Romans 10:9
