I was raised in a Christian home. Our family was in church if the lights were on – Sunday morning, Sunday night, Monday nights, Wednesday nights – if there was something going on at the church, we were there. Looking back on that experience, I so appreciate my parents for instilling in my brother and me the importance of the gathering of God’s people.
Of course we were involved in Sunday School (age graded small groups) in our church. I am ashamed to say that I don’t remember all my teachers through the years, but I do know they impacted my life whether they knew it at the time or not. Here are three things I learned as a child in Sunday School.
- God loves everyone unconditionally – that means that God loves even me, no matter what. Whether I choose to follow after God or not, whether I choose to use my life in the betterment of humanity or only for selfish gain – no matter what – God loves me.
- God has a plan for each of us – even me. Regardless of what we choose to do for a living, God has a plan for our lives.
- Mr. Fowler was right in my third grade Sunday School class when he said, “Brian, someday you are gonna be a preacher.”
