response to Joel #2

1. You could make it practical and have a guided discussion about application. Then you could quite possibly have them memorize something and then when you know it applies have them recite it and then show how the event and scripture correlate

2.I really am afraid to tamper with Child like faith in Children. I miss it very much and which i hadn't become so cynical. I am not sure how to get them to start asking critical questions without throwing off everything else in their lives. Children ask enough questions and thus begins the critical thinking. the problem is to get them to ask questions when they are 30 and 40 years old. By then they think they know everything. These are the people who need the remedy. Maybe we could pair up children with adults and have them learn form each other in Sunday school. I saw it on a movie once where a director brought children into his theater to create child like wonder. It was beautiful.

3. Joel let's face it you are just going to have to practice practice, and practice. You may always stink at basketball, it is part of life. I think the most common base you have with this guy is either going to be that you are men, or Jesus. Seeing that Jesus is a better man than you or I you should talk about Him.
