Sunday School and VBS curriculum which trivializes and moralizes the Bible.
The Bible is a glorious book about God and His Son Jesus Christ. The
storyline is drama at its highest, best and most gripping. So why would
we diminish the power of redemptive history by making the events of
redemptive history about being strong or brave or good boat builders?
Why would we reduce the magnitude of the “Word became flesh” by turning
him into a cartoon figure who feeds His friends by teaching them to
share their lunch? Why would we minimize the maximal power of grace by
putting the Bible into little neat “be and do” categories? Sunday School
curriculum should point to the power and glory of the Gospel, whether
the story is about Noah or Samson or the feeding of the five thousand.
Our kids should be wowed with the greatness of God, not the supposed
genius of Bible characters, who in reality were sinners in need of
grace. Keep Reading...
