| "Blogging with Paul" by Carol Duerksen | ||||||||||||
|
YOUTH GROUP LESSON 28
|
||||||||||||
| MATERIALS AND ADVANCE PREPARATION: 1 Bibles for everyone 2 Pens and paper for everyone 3 Copies of Paul’s Blog for each student (see bottom of page) 4 Newsprint and markers SESSION OUTLINE Begin the session by asking for a show of hands of how many students participate in blogging. Ask: Did you know that Paul did some blogging in the Bible? 2 Hand out Paul’s Blog to each student. Invite someone to read it out loud. Any comments from students? 3 Ask students to turn to I Corinthians 16:1-21. Read it together. 4 Offer this mini-lecture: This is an example of a portion of one of Paul’s letters to a church. In a way, Paul’s letters are like a blog, an Internet diary, of sorts. People log on to their respective websites and write the things that they did, or the things they plan to do, or the thoughts they’ve had recently. What really sets a blog apart from a traditional private journal is that almost anyone can read it. Even if the intended audience is a select group of people, it can fall into anyone’s hands. Basically, this is true for Paul’s letters. Meant for certain churches in a certain time, millions of people throughout the world now read and study them. Paul was way ahead of his time on this one, much to the benefit of the whole world. Of course, there are glaring differences between the average blog and Paul’s letters. For one thing, a blog can be written by anyone who knows how to type, whereas Paul was a learned man, a miracle-worker and a pastor, church planter extrodinaire and author of a huge chunk of the most-printed, most-read and most Holy book in the known history of humanity.
