Defeating the Dragons

What comes to your mind first when you think of Tales of the Kingdom? If it is that it is an allegory, that’s fine, because it is. But we encourage you to follow this series of blogs until you see the Tales as a tool for teaching Biblical principles in a format that young children can readily understand. Just like Bible stories, the point is not the story itself, it is the lesson that the story teaches.

Defeating the Dragons

You never know when you will have to face a dragon. There may be one lurking just around the corner, waiting frighten you will its menacing look, its mighty roar and its fiery breathe.

When a wise person is aware of potential danger, they prepare ahead of time so that they are not overcome by the element of surprise. They know what a dragon looks like, they understand how dragons act, learn how to defend themselves and, ultimately, how to defeat a dragon.

A foolish person walks through life believing that, somehow, they are immune from attack. They get caught off guard, unprepared, and end up caught in the clutches of the beast. Then there problem is figuring out how to escape from the misery of the dragon’s dominion.

Tales of the Kingdom’s allegorical setting allows parents to prepare their precious children from the dragons in this world that are attacking them at younger ages than ever before. The battle is actually won in the preparation, as we teach our children to recognize dragons, how to avoid them and how to conquer them.

Stay Alert to Self-diminishing Compromises

I believe that when most of us think about Daniel our mind and memory immediately go to him and the Lion’s Den!  Yet, there is so much more about Daniel that we need to know!  In fact, the story that first introduces him to us is one that allows us to see how Daniel was able to  Stay Alert to Self-diminishing Compromises . Daniel 1:1-20 tells us that he was taken captive from his homeland and wound up in the court of King Nebuchadnezzar.  While there, he and Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, along with the other young men who were taken, were to be fed the king’s delicacies preparatory to serving in the king’s palace.  You, I am sure, remember that they choose to eat veggies and water instead and, when they were examined, were in as good, if not better, health than those who had chosen to eat what the king provided. Daniel and his three friends recognized that eating the delicacies would have been detrimental in the long run, making it beneficial that they were ab...

Reference the Culture to Share God’s Love

When we contemplate the ministry of Apostle Paul we see a man who was a zealot from the very moment we are introduced to him.  Though playing for “the wrong team” at the time, he pursued the Christians all over Jerusalem, and  then  made arrangements to go to Damascus and pursue them! After being converted on the road to Damascus his zeal, if anything, grew in intensity.  It caused him to be stoned.  It caused him to be imprisoned.  And, it caused him to be ingenious!  That’s why Paul was the first one who was able to  Reference the Culture to Share God’s Love! You probably remember the story.  Paul is hanging out in Athens when his spirit is terribly troubled by all of the idolatry that was taking place.  Acts 17:16-34 tells us that members of a number of different philosophies were gathered there, Epicureans and Stoics to name a few.  “Pleasure” was one of their main life goals, and one of the things that pleased them the most was...

Stay Spiritually Connected and Directed

I was talking with a good friend one day and he said, “You know, I struggle with making sure I am doing God things and not just good things.”  I nodded that I understood, but, since then, I have pondered that statement a lot.  Since it is accepted that “Christian” means to be “Christ like,” it is important to see if Christ did differentiate between the two to help us determine if we should  Stay Spiritually Connected and Directed . In Mark 1:29-39, we find that Jesus does make this distinction and that He did, in fact,  Stay Spiritually Connected and Directed .  After raising Peter’s mother-in-law from a bad fever and healing a host of others and casting out demons, Jesus retires for the evening.  Rising before daylight the next morning, He goes off to pray.  When His disciples come and tell Him that folks are looking for Him, he advises them that they need to go to other towns in the area for,  “this is the purpose I have come forth.” We all know...
