With a goal of teaching the Bible to transform adult lives, I search for object lessons, illustrations, exercises, etc. I post these (and some original ideas) in hopes other teachers will benefit, too.

I have been treated for ADD (inattentive type) for many years.............even before it became popular!! The verse "gird the loins of your mind" has a whole new meaning to me now after studying what this really means. With all the distractions in our society, it is not easy to have sel discipline and even harder if your mind takes you everywhere except where you are suppose to be.
I am thinking of switching labels on a can of fruit cocktail with some other food to use as an example of how the outside of something may not be an accurate reflection of the inside. Like a person can appear holy without being holy.
maybe not. after reading what I just wrote, that's about as dumb as my idea of taking vase with a drooping flower to sit on the desk in the classroom.
Ethel, to the contrary, I really like your idea! What you might want to do is hold up the can and ask people to identify it. Then open the can in class and pour the contents into a transparent container where everyone can see the insides. The difference is a great object lesson. Imagine how disappointed we'd be to think that we were opening a can of fruit cocktail and it turned out to be something horrible instead!
Great illustration Ethel!
