Toad and the Tough Truth
J.D. Camorlinga
Children Ages 4-7
James and Ruth are enjoying a rainy day until they meet a toad who is troubled. Toad heard from his friend that he would go to a bad place if he did too many bad things. James and Ruth ask Toad some questions and then help him understand what the Bible teaches about hell.
Question 1 - What are some of the untrue things Toad, James, and Ruth had been told about hell?
Discussion Guide - Discuss how they had heard that hell was a place of pitchforks, monsters, and lava, though other people told them it would be a more fun party than Heaven. Toad had heard that people go to hell for doing too many bad things.
Question 2 - What truths from the Bible did James and Ruth share with Toad?
Discussion Guide - Discuss how James and Ruth shared that the Bible uses words like fire, worms, forever, darkness, and torment to describe hell. They also shared that people go to hell for doing one bad thing - rejecting God.
Question 3 - What good news did James and Ruth share with Toad?
Discussion Guide - Read Romans 10:9-11. Discuss how the Bible promises that everyone who turns from their sin and trusts in Jesus will be rescued from their sin and spend eternity with God in the New Heaven and New Earth.
Bonus Question - If your child has gone through Foundation Attributes of God Curriculum, ask, “What attributes of God are seen through people spending eternity in the New Heaven and New Earth or in hell?”
Discussion Guide - DIscuss how we see God’s mercy and grace in rescuing His children from their sin. We see His justice is punishing those who have rejected his mercy and grace.
