To Cheat or Not to Cheat
What’s your favorite subject at school?
Do of you know someone who was busted of cheating?
What are the motivations to cheat?
Do you think most students cheat, or do you think most students do not cheat?
Read: Psalm 15:1-5
1. How could these characteristics/traits apply to our school lives?
2. We have all heard the expression “Cheaters only cheat themselves.” Do you believe this or not?
3. What if a person who is a follower of Christ cheats but DOES NOT get caught. Does he or she still do damage to the name of Jesus?
4. What are some very specific ways we as Christ’s followers can guarantee that we won’t cheat in school in any way?
This lesson from the Bible sheds some light on how we are supposed to act. We are told to “do what is right,” “honor the faithful followers of God” and “speak the truth” among other things. If we do, God says we can enjoy His presence.
Look, making good grades isn’t easy, and to tell you the truth, a lot of times, people who choose to cheat get away with it and they make better grades than those of us who choose to study instead of cheat. It doesn’t seem fair does it? But, God honors those who want to do life His way. Clearly, God would never allow cheating, so when we commit to being “academically pure,” God will honor that and help us.
Prayer
God, you and I both know that I could have cheated on this up coming test, but I want to honor You by staying academically pure. Please help me bring glory to your Name by helping me make a great grade on the up coming test in a way that pleases You.
