The Diabetic Christian

Just a thought, sparked by something I heard on the radio today.

Seems like a lot of people do not believe that GOD will eternally punish the sinner. GOD IS SO GOOD, what punishment will HE dole out? I think they are so used to hearing preachers and teachers speak on the love of GOD, so much so, that they have way too much spiritual sugar in their diet. Hence, the name of this article, The Diabetic Christian. While the Bible does say, "GOD is love", we forget that GOD is also a consuming fire. That is a quote from both the Old Testament and the New. Over and over, from Genesis to Revelation, there is the promise of coming Judgment to the wicked. It is a promise of everlasting punishment.

That Judgment can only be overcome by GOD's love. GOD freely gives life, eternal life, to any who will willingly accept it and repent and believe on His only begotten Son, the LORD JESUS CHRIST. Read all of 2 Peter chapters 2 & 3, then read the 1st 18 verses of John chptr 3.

GOD is love, especially to those who put their trust, complete trust in HIM.

Resurrection Morning Sunday School


My post today is just an intro how I plan tomorrow's Sunday School lesson.
Lesson Idea
My Sunday School class of 8-10 year olds is a mixture of boys and girls. A few of them really know something about the Word of God, but most have very little knowledge because noone has ever trained them at home. Additionally, most do not have a love of reading the Bible, or anything else it seems. One of my plans is to get the Word of God to them and into them. Since they don't like to read on their own, I'm going to at least help them memorize scripture.

As an aide in memorizing, I'm gonna use 4x6 index cards. I've written 2 Peter 3:9, one word per card onto 3 sets of cards. There are 3 tables in the classroom, so each table will get a set. They will race to see which table can get their shuffled set of cards N2 the correct order for the verse. Then, they will attempt the same thing, without having Bibles open. We'll then practice saying the verse out loud followed by a discussion of what this verse means to them and how the LORD intends for it to mean.

Lets see how it goes...
