It is a basic assumption in the moral and ethical systems of many bodies, organizations, and professions (for example, in the Hippocratic oath familiar to many in the medical profession), that we human beings not deliberately harm others. It is implied in the Commandment "Do not kill." And it is worth consideration by those who choose the material to be used in their Sunday School classes individually or as a leader.
Surely we want to "do no harm" to the children, youth, and adults who join us in studying God's Word. We do not want to place in the hands of students or untrained volunteers material that will mislead them or contradict the clear teaching that God gives salvation through faith in the work of Jesus Christ as our Savior from sin.
It always amazes me that some Sunday School leaders, pastors, and directors of Christian education don't get it.
How does your church insure that the material you teach each Sunday "does no harm"?
God's blessings as you teach His children His Word.
