"TEACHING TRUTHS"

      What does it take to be a teacher? Most of all it takes desire, but there are five demands made of every person who agrees to teach. These demands, however, soon evolve into characteristics of the Christian who has absorbed Christ.
  1. If you teach you will be emotionally mature. How often was Christ heckled and tempted to respond in like manner? He understood that as a teacher He was to understand the student rather than immaturely expecting the student to understand the teacher.
  2. The mature teacher can predict the conduct of students. This is the essence of teaching: to envision a type of conduct and then to train students to experience that same conduct.
  3. To be a teacher you have to listen to your students. Honestly, actively, enthusiastically listen! It is estimated that 70% of students are sending out signals to see if the teacher is interested in them or the lesson.
  4. The real teacher is himself - he doesn't concern himself with what "they" will think of him but exerts all his energy on the task he knows he can do. He is positive, frank, and honest with the class as well as with himself.
  5. The mature teacher is genuinely interested in other people. Someone has said that you can make more friends in a day by being interested in others than you can in a month trying to get them interested in you.
      I guess really it could be summed up this way. The mature teacher realizes this, but he doesn't need to have people interested in him for he has learned the blessedness of giving, of giving himself. Thanks to all our teachers.

See ya Sunday,
Ralph
