Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time

Youth devotionals — they can put the most patient of teachers over the edge. The forgetting, the faking, the false doctrine, the too-familiar gospel cliches all combine in a slow-moving train wreck that can make opening exercises in your class a miserable experience. Students forget or ignore assignments, and we teachers act like it’s okay to share spiritual things with no preparation or thought. I have experienced a fair amount…
