Right Tool For The Right Job

Needed: hammer, screwdriver, spoon, hairbrush, etc. several nails, 2x6x4' board

Introduce the subject like this: "Sometime in life we go to the wrong place for answers. Sometimes we use the wrong method to accomplish something. I need a few volunteers ..."

Pull out a board with several nails sticking out of the board. Allow students (1 at a time) to drive nails into the board with tools you select for them. Give the first student a hairbrush, the next a spoon, etc. Obviously save the hammer for last. Ask them why it’s not working. Close the illustration by saying, "It doesn’t make sense to use the wrong tool for the job!"

Then introduce the topic: Many times we go to the wrong sources for wisdom (friends, unchurched family, etc). We need to rely on The Word, prayer, our pastors and those with an understanding of the things of God.
