My first experience teaching the Bible came when I was asked at the
last minute to teach a Sunday School class of first-grade boys. I was
only 16 years old, and I did not exactly volunteer to teach the class. I

explaining it as best I could. There have been very few Sundays since
when I have not taught or preached, usually to a congregation a bit less
fidgety than my first.

— they often think they can “improve” on the story as found in the
Bible. First-grade boys are big on special effects, blowing away bad
guys, exploding just about anything, and what we might gently call
“narrative overkill.” Continue at Al Mohler
