“In God We Trust” This is the title of the children’s lesson I’m teaching in the morning. I’ll have the kids do the fall back into another kids arms and will trust that they will catch each other! They are all very smart kids, so I never know what they are going to come up with. They keep me on my toes. Link to the lesson of Abraham and Isaac. We’ll go do chalk drawing of the trek they took up the mountain.
One of the reasons I teach Sunday School is because I want to understand better myself. Here is a list I found on the Internet of John Wesley’s Holy Club questions. A lot of these have to do with trust.
- Am I consciously or unconsciously creating the impression that I am better than I really am? In other words, am I a hypocrite?
- Do I confidentially pass on to others what has been said to me in confidence?
- Can I be trusted?
- Am I a slave to dress, friends, work or habits?
- Am I self-conscious, self-pitying, or self-justifying?
- Did the Bible live in me today?
- Do I give the Bible time to speak to me every day?
- Am I enjoying prayer?
- When did I last speak to someone else of my faith? [ conversation starter questions ]
- Do I pray about the money I spend?
- Do I get to bed on time and get up on time?
- Do I disobey God in anything?
- Do I insist upon doing something about which my conscience is uneasy?
- Am I defeated in any part of my life?
- Am I jealous, impure, critical, irritable, touchy or distrustful?
- How do I spend my spare time?
- Am I proud?
- Do I thank God that I am not as other people, especially as the Pharisees who despised the publican?
- Is there anyone whom I fear, dislike, disown, criticize, hold a resentment toward or disregard? If so, what am I doing about it?
- Do I grumble or complain constantly?
- Is Christ real to me?
