Three Question Framework for Children
For a long time, I looking for a simple way to teach my Biblical values using Biblical concepts. It was overwhelming for me because I could just pick three words. I kept using all kinds of words that were good but not consistent.
Over time with prayer and reading, I narrowed my words down to three: Truth, Beauty, and Goodness.
These three words kept popping up everywhere and they became ingrained in me. As a result I started using them more. I now use them as a framework on what glorifies God.
So whenever, my daughter asks me a tough question about culture, I have her reflect on three questions:
1. Is it true? Is the subject you are talking about based on Biblical truth? Or is it based on feelings?
2. Is it Good? As Christians our definition of what is good comes from the Bible and not culture. What is good in culture changes quite often and leaves people lost and in the dark.
3. Is it beautiful? Again, is what we are talking about inspired by what God, not man, deems as beautiful?
Another way to confront a topic is to ask the opposite of these questions. Is it false, bad, grotesque?
If it celebrates what is true, good, and beautiful, then it is more than likely going to glorify God. And that is what we are trying to teach our children.
What framework do you use to teach your children how to glorify God?
