It is impossible to learn about the history of the Early Church, those four hundred or so years following the death and resurrection of Christ, without encountering a significant number of false teachers, false teachings, and–as a result–faithful Christian men contending for the faith.

The Early Church Heresies helped the Early Church Fathers define biblical doctrine. As they worked to combat outright lies, these stalwart believers looked to God’s Word for truth. They wrote and preached Scripture. A number of the Early Church Fathers even gave their lives in the defense of biblical truth, committing to serve Jesus no matter the cost.

Early Church Heresies

As the good news of Jesus spread across the Mediterranean world during the early centuries of the new millennia, self-appointed teachers began preaching lies about who Jesus is, the nature of our one true God, the gospel, and God’s Church. These men were not just confused. In fact, the Bible has many things to say about heretics. God’s Word calls them:

• Antichrists
• Distorters of the gospel
• Stirrers of division
• Accursed
• False Christians
• Liars.

You see, heresy is dangerous, both to the global Church and to the souls of our children.

So, God raised up committed believers to teach biblical truth. We call them the Early Church Fathers.

Today, false teachings about Jesus, the Trinity, the way of salvation, and God’s people still abound. Our children must know biblical truth, and they must be able to identify the old lies in today’s heresies.

Your kids can learn about the Early Church heresies, what Scripture says about heretics, and four important biblical truths with the engaging book from Christian Focus Publications, What Is Heresy?. It’s part of the Who What Why series for middle grade kids, ages 7-12.

How to Print and Use Your Free History Lapbook

To create the base of your lapbook, place your file folder on a table and fold both sides inward toward the creased spine of the folder. Once the outer edges meet, crease your file folder. This will give you a book that opens in the middle. You will still have a fold in the middle of your book, so I like to glue a piece of cardstock into the middle section of the book to create a thick center that won’t bend.

You’ll want to print the Who What Why | Biblical Truth Lapbook pack single-sided on plain printer paper using color ink. In your lapbook pages, you will find step-by-step instructions on each minibook and activity, explaining how to assemble each. You can watch a quick tutorial for your free lapbook above.

Early Church Heresies and Biblical Truths | FREE History Lapbook will help your child learn and record important facts about early church heresies, and important biblical truths with visuals they will not forget.

“As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.” – Psalm 16:3, ESV  

Christian History Matters for Our Kids.

History matters. Now, more than ever, we see how important it is for our children to know and understand history and the Bible.

Here’s why:

• God is the sovereign ruler of all things. It’s important for our kids to see his hand in the history of nations and in the lives of both peasants and kings. 
• Christian history is the story of our family history. Our kids get to see how people who love Jesus follow him.
• Understanding history can help our kids learn historic and biblical theology. They learn what the Bible says and what that means for us. They also see when the study of Scripture has taken important turns that have changed the Church.   
• Reading Christian biographies and history can be a wonderful way for kids to think outside their own time and culture. God’s Church spans centuries and includes people from every nation.    
• Christian biographies help kids consider their own faith, walk with Jesus, and the impact their witness may one day have on others–and on history. 

Elementary-aged kids need middle grade resources that are fun, a little sassy, and that teach valuable lessons. 

The Who What Why Series is the perfect resource to teach your kids about history, while helping them apply biblical truths to their lives today.
