Bible teachers sometimes face issues that hinder effectiveness if left to fester. We need a source of help to deal with these issues. Perhaps we could suggest teacher training resources like those listed on this site pertaining to typical issues. (Clicking on links will take you to helpful resources.)<\/em><\/p>\n

classroom discipline<\/a>

We’d be foolish to think these pages contain all the help teachers need. Though useful in working through these issues, the ultimate source of help cannot be found on the Internet, in a teacher training seminar, by reading a book, watching a video, etc.<\/p>\n

The ultimate source of help for Bible teachers comes directly from God Himself.<\/h2>\n

Never forget to look to God and His Word for guidance. Remember to pray about the issues. Trust God for the power to make changes and the grace to cope with whatever you face.<\/p>\n

His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. (2 Pet. 1:3)<\/em><\/p>\n

And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. (2 Cor. 9:8)<\/em><\/p>\n

Notice how we can count on God for “everything we need” to deal with issues we face “in all things at all times”. No teacher training resource can promise that. Only an Almighty, Gracious God can do that!<\/p>\n

Turning to God makes a huge difference in our teaching.<\/h2>\n

When we look to God as our ultimate source of help, we have a greater joy in teaching, confidence to continue on, a peace that we can’t explain, and renewed purpose leading to true effectiveness.<\/p>\n
