Creative tension

Want to get the attention of class members and have them hang on to every word of a discussion? Then use creative tension.

Here is one way to do that with this week’s lesson material from LifeWay. In the Step 3 sidebar (page 47) of the Adult Leader Guide, a statement is made “God is fair.” However, Olive Baptist Church in Pensacola, minister of evangelism and missions, Troy Bush comments on this lesson in the Florida Baptist Witness and he says, “The truth is God is not fair.” So which is it? Is God fair or not?

Work thru this issue with the class and be prepared to argue both perspectives. Use other verses outside the focal passage to help you decide your position as the Holy Spirit guides you into the truth of the matter!
