[1] Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness. (ESV)
Recently, I had the privilege of visiting two of my favorite teachers that I have ever known. They both live in Florida. One was my professor from Bible College. I had a strict policy when I was in Bible college; whatever this one professor taught I took the class. The other teacher I went to visit was my father. For my whole life he has taught me truth from Scripture.
There is a tremendous value that we can attach to those who faithfully and accurately teach the Word of God. The men I mentioned influenced and continue to influence my life to this day. Their commitment to defending the truth of the Bible has helped me in my faith and enabled me to teach others. Without great teachers I would not be a teacher myself.
Do you know a godly teacher? Honor them! Do you know a false teacher? Stay away from their teaching and pray that God will humble them and show them the truth. Do you desire to be a teacher? Soberly pray and seek God for his direction.
