Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven. (Matt 19:14)
If we want to help people to know Jesus, we should help them learn the Bible. To help them learn the Bible, we can help them learn to study the Bible.
These things are not just for adults. That’s why I write fairly often about how to help children learn to study the Bible.
Andrew Weiseth, writing at The Resurgence blog, shares my passion. He recently wrote an article called “1 Simple Way to Get Kids to Love Bible Study.”
His method is simple: Take advantage of their love of play. Act it out; make it fun. Bring the text to life.
I suggested a similar thing in my post about teaching 4-year-olds.
What do you think? Have you found such a technique helpful for children?
