God’sFlannelgraph |
In
this age of new video technology, it might be hard to believe that some
teachers still feel the best way to depict Bible stories is the
low-tech flannelgraph board. I recall that Sunday school
teachers used those flat boards covered with flannel, which enabled
them to display cutouts of David, Daniel, Jonah, Jesus, and all the
other characters. The flannelgraphs helped my teachers capture the essence of the Bible story in an artistic way.

Those old-school flannelgraphs aren’t the oldest graphic teaching devices, however. God has long had a kind of “flannelgraph” of His own, and it is called creation. God uses the marvel of creation to instruct us and to display His power. In Psalm 19:1, David wrote, “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork.” In creation, God has revealed Himself so clearly that Paul declared, “His invisible attributes are clearly seen.” Those who have the witness of creation are “without excuse” (Rom. 1:20). Why? On the flannelgraph of God’s creation, we see God’s order and design. We see His power and glory. This should lead us to worship. “O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth!” (Ps. 8:1). (Psalm
19 -Audio-)

By the strength of His voice heaven’s hosts were unfurled; Now in His honor we worship His name And in heartfelt devotion His glory proclaim. —Branon Creation
is the canvas on which God has painted His character.

El Libro a los Hebreos Propósito: Alertar, edificar y fortalecer a la iglesia (pastores, servidores, miembros e invitados) para permanecer firmes en la fe frente a las corrientes de estos postreros tiempos. INTRODUCCIÓN Amada iglesia, hermanos, servidores, pastores y amigos que nos visitan hoy: sean todos muy bienvenidos a la casa del Señor. Cuando uno viaja por una carretera sinuosa en la montaña, nota que a la orilla de los abismos hay unas estructuras fijas: las barandas de seguridad. La función de esas barandas no es arruinar el viaje ni quitar el paisaje; están ahí para salvarnos la vida si perdemos el control o nos desviamos del camino. En la carta a los Hebreos, el Espíritu Santo colocó cinco "barandas espirituales". El autor no escribió estas advertencias para destruir nuestra paz ni para infundir un temor servil, sino para proteger a la iglesia del mayor peligro espiritual: la apostasía. La apostasía rara vez ocurre de la noche a la mañana. Comienza como un enfriamie...
