The Best Teacher

Titus 2:4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children.

Teaching is more than disseminating information to others. Good teaching is better demonstrated than told. Telling someone that living for God requires being faithful is good, but showing them what faithfulness looks like by the life you live is the best teacher. Moms and dads will send their kids to church to learn about God, but are not willing to go themselves showing their kids that church is not really that important.  It is good and necessary to read and learn the Bible stories and doctrine of God’s word, but learning is best when it is practice. We may be the only Bible that people ever read, let us lead by example and not word only.

Called to Teach

Matt. 28:19 “ Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost”-

God has called all of us to be teachers. To dispense of information that is essential to living a life that will secure eternal life. Jesus came to give His life to redeem us from our sins and sin nature. He also came to show us the way we should be living. Learning to live a life of holiness is a process that does not happen over night at an altar of prayer. Yes, we yield our hearts in full submission, but learning requires that we be taught to observe what is right and holy. As we walk with God, we begin to see that we also need to be teachers of His word. As teachers, we not only tell and instructed other in the Way, but we show others the way by the way we live. The greatest teacher is seen by example. “Show how to do it, and I will follow”. Let us feed on His word, that we may be ready to give an answer to anyone who will ask. If we live for God, He will never leave us, even when life comes to an end.
