Greetings:
For the last two weeks we have thought about teaching style. Next week we will consider some ways that the Bible encourages us to cultivate concern for others.
Philippians 4: 8,9 (HCSB) states: " Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable—if there is any moral excellence and if there is any praise—dwell on these things. Do what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you."
It is always a challenge to enter a new way of doing things. Studying new information will help with understanding. But, the only way that new skills are developed is by practice. Find a mentor. Be a mentor. Practice what you are thinking. And - don't give up.
Diamonds are chunks of coal that underwent enormous pressure. They were molded into something precious. The pressure that you feel today in attempting to teach with style will eventually help to make you a precious gem.
Today you are a diamond in the rough - tomorrow you will sparkle and shine in glorious settings.
