Pre-School Doctrine
1.28.2009Comment
My 4-year old daughter, Macie, told my wife Andrea this morning in the bathroom that “she didn’t need to brush her teeth because it wasn’t in the Bible.” Besides the obvious commandment about obeying your father and mother, I’m pretty sure there’s some similar Leviticus Law that deals with oral hygiene, so I think I can win this debate.
So what doctrinal conclusions have your children declared lately?
Monday morning Jonah (6 year’s old) and I were on the way to school and he was speaking of the authority and power of Jesus. The conversation went something like this, “Jesus is so strong that when he touches hot lava, it is just like cold water to him. It doesn’t even burn him.”
Yeah – Jesus is King over all creation son.
Good times.
My son is 8 now, so the conversations are no longer “preschool” doctrine. On the way home from church Sunday I asked him what he learned in Sunday school and he told me that Samsons hair was the secret to his strength and after He cut it he killed himself. I had to explain to him that it didn’t quite go as simply as that. It seemed my son had missed all the details about obeying God, not being deceived, and God answering prayer.
