What we teach

I was visiting a church recently and walked through the halls in the kids area and came upon this visual.  Is it any wonder the church is rendered so powerless today.   When I use the term “church” I define it as the body or as the group of people who believe the gospel of Jesus.  He did not come to give you a get out of hell ticket!!!  He came to give us life and freedom.  It is sad really that we teach little children this fear tactic as a way to get behavior conformity.  This threat does nothing but create pretenders.  I wish it was different.   All the way around.  I wish the teaching was different and the visual’s more love focused.  I am such a dreamer.  Joni
