How is the word “infuse” related to biblical integration?
-
Like we can infuse pictures out of the clouds. Like shapes of animals, mountains, people it is that clouds move always. So, it is fun seeing the different shapes in the clouds. Even playing the picture cloud game with children. They get excited to see something in the clouds that bring joy. So, I could use this bible verse letting the children know what Jesus said to the high priest wanted Jesus to answer if He Jesus was the Son of God. Jesus said to the high priest, “You have said so. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.” Matthew 26:64 {Let them read the bible verse out loud. Let them write it on an index card to memorize.

Our lessons should be so “infused” with the Scriptures that one cannot be separated from the other. In other words, biblical integration into my lessons should be seamless.
-
When we teach with a renewed /transformed mind that is grounded in God’s Word, we begin to see the world through biblical truths and therefore God’s Word becomes such a part of ourselves that it comes out in our teaching and cannot be separate.

When something is infused with another thing, they can’t be separated out again. They are a brand new creation. Take water and food coloring. If you take water, add red food coloring. Water turns red. Add blue food coloring. Water turns purple. You cannot remove the red or blue water. Nor can you go back to clear water. Once the water is infused with food coloring, it is a new creation.
When our lessons are infused with the Bible, they too become a new creation. You can’t easily remove it when you infuse these truths into your teaching.

God is part of everything and should therefore be part of everything we learn and teach.
