Bible Crafts
Lying Lips Are An Abomination To The Lord
God hates it when we lie! When we lie we are going against His very nature John 14:6. God hates lying so much that He included it as one of the Ten Commandments.
We can clearly see how serious God is about lies and this is what we want our kids to learn as well. They need to understand that God hates it when we lie. That lying is a serious sin.
“Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, But those who deal faithfully are His delight.” Proverbs 12:22
It ruins friendships and characters. It hurts others and it can even influence others to sin as well.
Take this opportunity to correct the worlds false view of lying. The world believes in half-truths and “white” lies, but Gods Word shows us that a lie is a lie. They need to comprehend that when we lie we hurt others.
Tell your kids that it takes love to tell someone the truth, even when they know they will be hurt by their response; making an emphasis on the fact that the truth needs to be said lovingly. Teaching them that we need to practice sincere honesty with our family, friends, and in the church.

This craft might look silly, but it will help your kids remember this important biblical truth.
Candy Cane Jesus
The Legend Of The Candy Cane…
Look at a candy cane and what do you see? Stripes that are red like the blood shed for me. White for my Savior, who is sinless and pure. “J” is for Jesus, my Lord, that’s for sure! Turn it around and a staff you will see- Jesus, my shepherd is coming for me!
Many times during this Christmas season we get caught up in material things. Presents, decorations and food. It’s important to take the time to remember that those things have trully nothing to do with Christmas. The true meaning of Christmas is Christ. And that is exactly what this craft will do.

Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep. 12 He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. 13 There above it stood the Lord, and he said: “I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying. 14 Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring. 15 I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” Genesis 28:11-15
