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.

VERSICULO CLAVE : “Cristo nos libertó para que vivamos en libertad. Por lo tanto, manténganse firmes y no se sometan nuevamente al yugo de esclavitud.” (Gálatas 5:1) 1. La Verdadera Libertad: Libertad "PARA" La libertad en Cristo no es la ausencia de reglas, sino la presencia de un propósito. No es solo ser libre de algo (pecado, pasado, culpa), sino ser libre para algo (amar, servir, crecer). Es una liberación interna: Se trata de sanar el corazón para que ya no esté encadenado a vicios o traumas. Se basa en la Verdad: Jesús dijo: "Y conoceréis la verdad, y la verdad os hará libres" (Juan 8:32). La libertad cristiana nace de entender quiénes somos en Dios. Tiene límites protectores: Imagina un pez; es libre dentro del agua. Si el pez pide "libertad" para caminar en la tierra, muere. La libertad bíblica funciona dentro del diseño de Dios. 2. El Espejismo del Libertinaje: Libertad "DE" El libertinaje es la distorsión de la libertad. Es la...
