“Psychology is a theory, philosophy is an opinion. Biblical theology is Sovereign God revealing eternal truth.”
When a group meets it’s essential that the goal is to find out what God is saying. Psychology and philosophy are two disciplines that are often and accidently placed in the same category as biblical theology. Statements from the world of psychology often sound like wise counsel, and often are. Statements from the world of philosophy often sound transcendent. While psychology and philosophy are important to humanity, if anything stated from either of these disciplines contradicts the Words of God found in the Bible, ignore them. God’s truth always trumps humankind’s ponderings. — Rick Howerton
“Contrary to some critics, effective Sunday schools do not use archaic methods. No long-standing organization can survive two hundred years without methodological adaptation. The Sunday schools in evangelistic churches today are vibrant organizations used effectively to teach and reach thousands.” — Thom Rainer in Effective Evangelistic Churches
I occasionally hear leaders say they want the latest … the hottest … the coolest. Sunday school may not be any of those, but it can be highly effective. Leaders have learned to adapt and adjust Sunday school to meet the needs of today. — Bruce Raley
