A Tool for a Well-Versed Legacy

GRANDPAUSE: A lack of Bible study leads to ‘truth’ decay. (Unknown)

Most of us know that effective learning involves more than listening or reading. When we engage all our senses we are more likely to remember and assimilate the things we hear or read. Hearing, seeing, touching, and doing when working together help us learn more quickly and more permanently.

Providing a solid, quality Christian education for our children is the responsibility of the family, not the church. Such education must involve more than daily Bible devotions around the family table. There needs to be creative ways to impress the Word of God on young minds so that the stories connect with life today.

The Bible is filled with powerful true stories that compose the grand redemption story God is still unfolding today. We are commanded to tell those stories so another generation will know the Lord and all the amazing things He has done for us. Failure to do so could easily result in a generation growing up like that of Judges 2 who did not know the Lord or the things He had done. A well-versed legacy is more than story-telling—it is engaging with the stories.

 

In this digital, fast-paced world, it is hard to compete with all the electronic games, social media and apps that entangle the minds and time of our grandchildren. It’s hard for them to sit and listen to the stories of the Bible, or to read them. It helps to have tools that engage them with the Scriptures and help them remember the stories of God’s love and greatness. Though certainly not high tech, The Bible Box is one unique tool that parents and grandparents can use effectively to teach the stories of the Bible to our children.

I had never heard of The Bible Box until a few weeks ago at a seminar I was presenting. Jeanne Firth showed the tool to our group and I was hooked. I realized this could be a powerful tool for both parents and grandparents. Now I want you to know about this incredible tool. In many homes across America this simple tool, combined with Grandma’s Favorite Book and the Bible Box game, has found a special place with grandparents as they assist their young grandchildren in an exciting, hands-on vehicle for engaging with and remembering God’s Word.

Grandparents (and parents) look for creative tools to help build a well-versed legacy with our children and grandchildren. Check out The Bible Box to add to your toolbox. I think it can be a grand motivator for children and adults to learn the key stories of the Bible. Once you see it, you’ll want to order one for yourself and your adult children to have in their home.

The concept of God’s care and compassion is a central theme throughout the Bible. Although the Scriptures – and Jesus as well – refer to God as “Father”, there are numerous examples of God demonstrating nurturing, caring attributes similar to those of a mother.

Bridging the Scriptural Gap for Your Grandchildren

Bridging the scriptural gap does not mean preaching at grandchildren or forcing faith into every conversation. It means standing in the space between biblical truth and everyday life, helping children connect God’s Word to their questions, fears, hopes, and daily experiences.

Helping Grandchildren Discern Truth From Lies

Recently, I programmed my phone’s GPS to guide me to a specific location, and somehow I ended up with two AI women giving me directions at the same time. To make things more confusing, they weren’t giving me the same directions. This experience reminds us that many “voices” compete for our grandchildren’s attention. Some voices impart truth; others don’t.
