"I BELIEVE IN SUNDAY SCHOOL"

By Dr. Hoyt W. Allen, Jr.

(I Contend That The Following Three Reasons
For Being In Sunday School Are Scriptural)

1. TO OBEY THE COMMAND OF GOD
"Study to show thyself approved unto God..." II Tim. 2:15; "Let us not give up meeting together..." Heb. 10:25. It is sad to realize that many Christians spend more time reading the daily newspaper than they do the Bible. We must wake up to the fact that Bible Study is a command of God! Faithful study of the Word in Bible School each Lord's Day is the very least we can do in obeying this command.

2. TO STRENGTHEN THE SPIRITUAL LIFE OF
OUR FAMILY AND COUNTRY
Of the 67 million young people in America, more than 42 million receive no religious instruction at all. Is it any wonder that our families and our country are in trouble? How long can the religious life of a nation be maintained when seven out of ten of its youth receive no Christian training? The Bible School offers an answer to this urgent problem. It supplies good Christian training for the entire family, from the smallest child to the mature adult, and plays a key role in building happy homes and a healthy society.

3. TO TRAIN YOURSELF FOR CHRISTIAN SERVICE
85% of all church members come out of the Bible School. 95% of all Christian preachers, teachers, and church officers were first Bible School students. These facts clearly indicate that the Bible School plays a key role in recruiting and training people for service in Christ's Kingdom. There are over 60 million people in America who attend Bible School each week. If not already an active member of a Bible School Class, why don't you join this happy throng this next Sunday.
