1st Timothy 1:7. “Desiring to be teachers of the law: understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.”
TEACHERS. Accumulated knowledge, over the years, one learns From others, and time and books. This is not all curiosity that in one’s soul does burn; But rather a desire to give what one took.
One can be trusted to give you the truth, If they have learned it from God Himself. Timothy learned from his teachers in youth, To value and pass on his faith.
There are those around who want to teach, But have not learned the truth at all. They subtly suggest and intimidate, to reach Others, who for legalism fall.
Test the teaching that others pass on. Make sure theirs is a good foundation. Because right behind parents, teachers set down, The course of lives, and even the nation.
True teachers love students, the truth, and in good conscience They avoid what they know is not right. Such ones know what’s needed, and what is nonsense, And you will know them, for they walk in the light.
“Father: for whatever reason you have in mind, it seems I am being called upon to teach. For whatever wisdom Thou hast given to me, and whatever experiences I have over the course of my life, help me to pass on truth with a sense of accuracy, enthusiasm and humility. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
