Be Mindful If You Teach

This Sunday at my home Church I will partner with my fellow brother in the Lord , John Delong and begin to co-facilitate  a study concerning the reliability of the Bible. It has been almost 4 years since I have returned to Church and the faith . Needless to say I have taken my time considering if I ever should be involved at this level  ever again and have prayed that God would lead me in what path I should go.

So after being approached to help in this study program by Focus on the Family called True-U , I agreed . But one thing to all who decide to venture into any teaching call at the local Church level , know you will be held more accountable .

James 3:1 "Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness. "

Which is the way it should be. Too many take on roles without understanding the gravity of opening ones mouth to teach or lead . For what comes out of the mouth can build up,tear down or confuse. It can have eternal consequences . That doesn't mean one will have it all together or be perfect , but one should be sound in doctrine and able to articulate the gospel and defend the faith. 

So with a humble heart and a trembling soul , my prayer is simply that God will use these sessions to glorify Himself and Jesus Christ be exulted .
