God's Show & Tell

A couple weeks ago at the Treasuring Jesus marriage & family life conference, Kempton Turner shared a classic (a la John Piper) definition of God's glory: the outward radiance of the intrinsic beauty and greatness of His manifold perfections. As he continued to explain the concept in the course of the message, the words that came into my mind were "Show & Tell." So this morning at PCA elementary chapel I talked to the students about the idea that you are to be God's show and tell (see John 9:3ff and I Cor. 10:31). More than a little challenging to put the glory of God (esp the above definition) into words understandable and tangible for youngsters, but a good challenge nonetheless!
