Bad Theology Is Still Not Okay

  • "We don't like the activities in our publisher's material."
  • "We can't afford the printed leaflets."
  • "The pictures in the material don't reflect our culture or community."
  • "The material is over my students' heads."
  • "I share space with two other classes, and we can't make too much noise or move around."
  • "I can download lots of free resources from the Internet."

All of these can be accurate, legitimate statements and critiques. But that does not make it okay to use material in your classroom that teaches bad theology. Teaching moralism, decision theology, or works righteousness is still not okay.

Complain to your publisher. Adapt and revise freely. Write your own material. Mix and match from other acceptable materials. But don't use material that contradicts the theological views of your church body. That is not okay!

God's blessings as you teach His children His Word.
