Angry Children Boycott VBS

Two dozen children walked out of vacation bible school at Peace Lutheran Church in Fayetteville, Arkansas, Wednesday, citing what a spokesman called "poo-poo-head lessons." The children had first expressed their displeasure after Monday night's puppet show, which featured the socked hands of Youth Pastor Jim Rodman talking to one another about God's love for kittens and puppies. Six-year-old Hailey Minton complained that Rodman's presentation fundamentally failed to convey the distinction between Law and Gospel.

“Mr. R. is neat,” she said. “But he said puppies should love themselves a whole big bunch, so God would love them back. Don’t he know puppies are sinners, too?”

Tuesday night’s session turned sour, as well, when Rodman chose to have the children sing G-Double-O-D, Good!. Five-year-old Jimmy Perry said the song’s blatant reliance on works righteousness has no place in a Christian curriculum.

“That song said if we do what’s right, we’ll go to heaven,” he said. “Even Baby Sissy knows that’s wrong!”

The children finally walked out on Wednesday night’s session, when they were each given cucumbers, a bottle of glue, and some wiggly eyes, and told to build a replica of Larry from Veggie Tales.

“I thought we were going to learn about Jesus,” said Perry. “This is stupid.”

    Now this is really funny but I can’t imagine children fussing over law and grace...that’s for the adults.

    That’s wierd!  A chid wise enough to recognize false doctrine and foolishness yet immature enough to show disrespect.  Besides what’s wrong with the kid?  Everybody loves Larry!
