Genesis, Chapter 11
A very long time ago some men started to build a high tower of bricks. They planned to make it so high that its top should reach unto heaven.
They were very proud men, for they said, “Let us make us a name,” The Lord God had given them the land, and all that they had, but the tower was not to honor Him.
They worked very busily, yet never finished the big tower. Because God saw how vain and proud they were, and He caused them suddenly, each one, to speak in a different way. Before this, all had spoken the same language, so they were greatly troubled when they could not understand one another, and they gave up the building, and wandered away to different places of the earth.
The tower was then called Babel, which means confusion, or trouble. Ever since that time, people speak many different languages, and cannot all understand each other.
There is a name we can honor and be very happy. It is the name of God, and His Son Jesus Christ.
