A "Good" Christian Life?


Heart Reaching Object Lessons: Sight Sermons on Sin, Salvation, Separation and Service

By Elmer L. Wilder

Zondervan Publishing House, 1939

Riddle: How do pennies, stamps and matches tell a moral Bible story? Answer: With a little creativity and a good Christian heart! For Sunday school teachers and those currently controlling government, this book offers endless suggestions that will help you cleverly illustrate the virtues of condescending, repression and close-mindedness. Learn about cashing a check in the Bank of Heaven, the self-imposed noose of the drunkard and even the black ribbon of SIN. Act now and sit even higher on your moral horse.

Shouldn't "object lessons" include some objectivity? The "arrow of truth" piercing the Heart seems to be more metaphor than objective.

What? Stamps are like Christians? I don't understand how church can be like the Post Office? Or is this a veiled reference to proselytizing? Sorry, I already gave during the sermon...

Look, I just told you I already gave...during the sermon...you know when the pastor brought out that silly red heart and the penny. At first I thought he was going to begin doing parlor tricks but then he started talking about taxes and I just tuned out...Oh, pastor Wilder, good sermon today...*cough*

Oh, this is choice...The three "B's", what is that: bodybuilding, bearings and bolting? They sure didn't teach these things in Sunday school when I was a kid!
