Teaching your children to pray
We want our children to learn the meaning of 1 Thess. 5:17, which teaches us to “pray continually.” For Christians who walk with God, prayer should be a natural response to every situation. We can do many things to help our children make prayer an integral part of their lives. Set an example. When you […]

It is not about making smarter sinners
Effective Bible Teachers teach for application. Relentlessly. Constantly. Aggressively. For Effective Bible Teachers, teaching is all about application. In the Great Commission, Jesus said, “teaching them to obey. . .” Not, “teaching them everything I have commanded.” But, “teaching them to obey.” For Jesus it was all about application. Jesus’ brother, James taught that we […]

How to formulate good questions
This is my favorite. I love a good Bible discussion. I love it when people disagree. I love it when there are different points of view. It happened just the other night in our Tuesday night small group. The passage was one that relates to the topic of this book. It was the passage in […]

God is looking for better men
WE are constantly on a stretch, if not on a strain, to devise new methods, new plans, new organizations to advance the Church and secure enlargement and efficiency for the gospel. This trend of the day has a tendency to lose sight of the man or sink the man in the plan or organization. God’s […]

Stuff that you can touch and feel
I was privileged to hear Mike Dean preach recently. The big idea of the message was on service. We need to do more than sit and soak up Bible study lessons; we need to be doers of the Word. The Son of Man came not to be served but to serve. We too need to […]

Confused by grumpy Christians

Unfortunately, wayward softballs routinely crushed his flowers, and occasionally a baseball crashed through his large front window during an evening Little League game. Mr. Davidson was scary. We would go […]

What makes a great story great?
Effective Bible Teachers evaluate every story by two things. Is it interesting? Does it fit? Effective Bible Teachers find stories that are compelling. They are mesmerizing. They hold interest. The mind does not wander. People don’t look at their watches. People retell the story later, at work tomorrow. I can remember stories that I heard […]

Union with Christ
Think of all Christ accomplished. He kept the prescriptive and penal requirements of the law. He took on human flesh and satisfied divine justice. He conquered death, sin, and the Devil. As the covenant-keeping Messiah, he won for his people every spiritual blessing (Eph. 1:3). Jesus Christ is wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption (1 Cor. […]
