Question

Brother Branham (We got just ten minutes now.)—Brother Branham, we have no preacher where we live, but we have tape service on Sunday night only. Should we take our children to another church for Sunday school? Are the tape services sufficient?

Answer

Well, let that be according to the way your children are going. See? Now, if you get your children, they’re young, and you get them out into some kind of a group out there, that’ll just pound the stuff into them that they—that they—they shouldn’t know; I wouldn’t do it.

Question

Now, Brother Branham, what about the Sunday school? Brother Branham, about the Sunday school (all right), should it be before the preaching service?

Question

Who should be the teachers?

Answer

There you are, that’s up to you to vote your own teachers in. And you ought to do that, put them in there, get somebody. And meet with the church, and say, “Who’s…Who here feels led of the Lord?” And then get a qualified teacher. And then let it be done. It’s got to be strictly business, brethren. I...

Question

Who should be over the Sunday school to keep it in order?

Answer

The Sunday school superintendent. And that’s what his business is. He’s not supposed to have anything to do with the deacons, trustees, pastors, or nobody else, he’s got a office of his own. Whoever your Sunday school teacher is, I know not. But that Sunday school teacher is supposed to see that eve...
