ROUTE 66 - A GOOD ROUTE TO TAKE

 
I recently took the fifth grade class back on Wednesday nights. This class has from sixteen to nineteen very active fifth graders in it and I promise there is never a dull moment.

What route are you on? Our class has been doing a study called, "Route 66."  This is a wonderful study about all the books in the bible.  Each week there is a lesson about the overview of each book of the bible, hands on bible questions and usually a puzzle. I'm not sure but I think someone should make an adult version of this little study.

I have been a pastor's wife for thirty-two years now and it surprises me sometimes as to what I learn while teaching this group.  It has shown me how little we read the word of God.  You would think after thirty-two years of study in the word of God that I would have most of it memorized or at least know more about it than I do. 

It is apparent to me, as twenty first century Christians we have been on the wrong route.  We honestly don't know the word of God the way that we should.  What steps can we take in order to get back on the right track? 

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.  (II Timothy 2:15)
