“I don’t know why [churches teach children in moral examples instead of the gospel and biblical truth], but you have put your finger on a huge problem with much of the curriculum that is used for children. It reduces the gospel to morality, or moralisms. It ends up missing the heart of children and missing the fact that the problem is that I’m someone who loves myself more than I love others, and I need grace. I need God to work within me to change me and transform me and to give me power to love others.” - Ted Tripp
