Ask for examples of things which have not changed, eg God’s love, power,
faithfulness, the need to work and rest, the need for a home, etc. Talk about our

Establish that there has never been a particular time on earth in which everything
has been perfect, apart from in the Garden of Eden before the fall. There have
been good things and bad things about living in every time. However, we can be very

television space travel

computer aeroplanes

better medicines and hospitals

5. Each one of these discoveries or inventions did not happen by themselves. Instead a
person or a group of people worked hard to achieve them. What these people have
