Those simple words come from my wife, who has joined me at CPH in the editorial division as editor of VBS and family life materials: "Theology matters."
Curriculum choice cannot be just a matter of which publisher promises the least amount of preparation time, the flashiest promotion material, the coolest gadgets, or the lowest price. If you choose material based on prep time, printing, gadgets, or cost, you may miss the essential purpose of Christian education.
The goal of a Lutheran Sunday School is not to entertain the children or go easy on the budget. It is to share the truth of God's Word through balanced teaching of Law and Gospel. We want to proclaim forgiveness of sins, new life, and salvation through Jesus Christ every week. If we want a curriculum that gets the job done, theology matters.
Why is this message so hard to communicate or, for some, to hear?
How is the Gospel touching lives around you as you teach God's children His Word?
