Teaching Responsibilities

What a warning, yet an encouragement to all who teach, mentor, parent, or otherwise influence our youth . . .

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


Paul adds in his instruction to Timothy . . .


Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of Truth. ( 2 Timothy 2:15)


Jesus instructs us Himself in the Sermon on the Mount . . .


Therefore, whoever relaxes one of the least of theses commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the Kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the Kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:19) 



Challenging . . . Yet rewarding promises!

This passage teaches us that we can all be teachers. God wants us to be teacher to teach others to do right if they are going down the wrong path.
