Free Stuff Fridays (Truth78)

This week the blog is sponsored by Truth78 who invites you to download their new free book Zealous: 7 Commitments for the Discipleship of the Next Generations.

At no other time in recent history have we faced weeks on end of canceled Sunday School classes or countless hours of family time. Along with these dramatic changes, the coronavirus epidemic has prompted children to ask serious questions about the disease, death, and God’s role in the universe.

These realities give churches and parents an unexpected opportunity to rethink their approach to the discipleship of children. Truth78 has released a new book for churches and parents navigating this time of disruption—Zealous: 7 Commitments for the Discipleship of the Next Generation (and is offering free digital copies at Truth78.org/zealous).

Free book

Zealous is available at www.truth78.org/zealous, along with a free digital download of the book and practical support for putting the seven commitments into practice.

Free weekly devotional lesson

Truth78 is offering a free home devotional series: 7 Biblical Truths to Teach Children about Disease and Disasters. These devotionals address many of the fears that go with a pandemic, pointing parents to Scriptures that speak comfort and hope and pointing children to their greatest need: forgiveness of their sin. Get first free lesson: Truth #1: God is Sovereign Over All.

And ten full curriculum lessons – for free

    We are never far from reminding God of our credentials, of providing him with a curriculum vitae that lays out all we are, all we have been through, and all we have accomplished for his sake. We are never far from making the subtle turn from grace to merit, from what is freely given to…

    Does God Care How You Cook Your Goat?

    It is one of those biblical commands that has always perplexed me. If it appeared just one time in Scripture I might be tempted to pass it by. But it appears no less than three times, in Exodus 23:19, Exodus 34:26, and Deuteronomy 14:21. The repetition tells me that God is quite concerned that his…
