CHEERING FOR SPONGEBOB
1. Big Truths We Want to Hand Our Kids:
[KNOW] You Can Know God
[MOMENT] You Can Become a Christian In a Moment
[BIBLE] The Bible is True All the Time
[TRUST] Trust Leads to Stronger Faith
[CHURCH] You Should Enjoy Going to Church
[BELIEFS] Your Beliefs Matter
[IDEAL] God Has an Ideal
[GOD] God is Good
2. Tension Doesn't Make a Truth Less True; It Makes It More Real
Yes, YOU CAN KNOW GOD - but yes, GOD IS A MYSTERY
Yes, YOU CAN BECOME A CHRISTIAN IN A MOMENT - but yes, IT WILL TAKE FOREVER TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANS
Yes, THE BIBLE IS TRUE ALL THE TIME - but yes, EVERYTHING TRUE ABOUT LIFE IS NOT IN THE BIBLE
Yes, TRUST LEADS TO STRONGER FAITH - but yes, DOUBT LEADS TO STRONGER FAITH
Yes, YOU SHOULD ENJOY GOING TO CHURCH - but yes, YOU CAN ENJOY LIVING IN THE WORLD
Yes, YOUR BELIEFS MATTER - but yes, PEOPLE MATTER MORE
Yes, GOD HAS AN IDEAL - but yes, GOD USES BROKEN PEOPLE
Yes, GOD IS GOOD - but yes, YOU SHOULD DO GOOD
"Do all the good you can. By all the means you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. At all the times you can. To all the people you can. As long as ever you can."- John Wesley
3. If You Don't Say Yes to the Tension, A Kid of the Next Generation Could Grow Up to Become 'THAT' Christian.
