Writing for Children

March 30, 2009 4 Comments by Keri

I have not posted in a while so I thought I would give you a quick update as to why. I have been writing some stories on The Law of God for a Children’s Bible Curriculum. I just started 2 weeks ago and they are due in a week! I have never written children’s literature so it has been challenging and fun at the same time. I have been learning a lot about why God gave us His Law and our inability to follow it.

I’m working on teaching the children what the Law is and how it reveals the character of God and the character He wants us to exemplify.

The second topic is what the Law does, how it reveals to us our depravity and need for a Savior.

What the Law cannot do, how the Law cannot save us from sin.

Finally, the Cure for the Law, how faith in Christ is what saves us, not our good works.One verse that has stuck with me is Galatians 3:13 “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us . . .”

Christ has redeemed us once for all. I have been learning much about the Law of God and one I hope the children will understand this doctrine when I’m finished. If you think of me would you pray that the Lord would give me wisdom as I study and write? I will appreciate it much!

I’ll be praying. It’s interesting to try to tell Bible stories in very simple words that make sense to young children. I’ve gained a new appreciation for that in my work this year in the 2-yr-old class (2s and new 3s) at the preschool. What age group are you writing for?

Thanks for all the encouragementand prayers, I need it! I made some good progress last night so I’ve only got one story to go. Ginger- I’m writing for elementary aged children. I’m going to have my 9 year old nephew give me some feed back in a couple days to make sure they work.

Responding Responsibly.
May 30, 2010
For a long time I’ve wanted to write something to my readers discussing the issue of abuse. It seems as though the time is right. Proceed with caution though…this is a bit of a soap box for me so you have been warned. It’s personal. When I was a teenager, I lived in the Midwest [...]
A Mother’s Glimpse of the Father’s Love
August 16, 2009
God speaks of being our Father throughout Scripture. He is truly our Lord and Master but more than that Christ calls Him “Father’. As a child I used to think of my parents and how they loved me. As the recipient of their love I valued them. Yet my small gestures were nothing compared to [...]

How does your dress affect your church attendance?(online surveys) Wow, the response from this discussion has been diverse. Clothes are something that people obviously care a lot about. I had a second part to this article started, but because of the amount of comments and concerns I’m going to postpone that. I’d like to comment [...]
No Skirts. No Suits. No Service?
April 29, 2009
I’ve been thinking about clothes a lot this week. I have been reading a discussion online about appropriate church attire. It has opened my eyes to a huge problem within the Church today. We judge the righteousness of others based on their clothing. Yikes! Now, I’m not talking about modesty. I think it’s important but [...]
A Call for Change: A Christian’s response to our government and world
January 19, 2009
I’ve been thinking about this inauguration. Even though I disagree with Obama’s ideology, I am thrilled that the ultimate glass ceiling has been broken. This is a historic time in our nation’s history. It has given me cause to reflect on how we got to the election of a liberal president. What was his appeal? [...]
