In Search of a Teacher

"You have been believers so long now that you ought to be teaching others. Instead, you need someone to teach you again the basic things about God's word. You are like babies who need milk and cannot eat solid food." (Hebrews 5:12)

For months now, our dear friend, Dan, has searched unsuccessfully for someone to teach a Bible study at the VA nursing home in North Little Rock where he lives. Time after time, men have promised to come and teacher but never showed up. Yesterday, I joined the Bible-teacher-search team and emailed two churches in Little Rock. So far, no responses, but we shall keep praying and persevere until the teacher is found! Stay tuned...

The writer of Hebrews was also in search of Bible teachers. In his commentary on Hebrews, Pastor John MacArthur writes: "Every believer is to be a teacher. Colossians 3:16 says, 'Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all wisdom He gives.' If the Hebrews had really obeyed the gospel of Christ, they would have been passing that message on to others."

A world lost in darkness is searching for teachers of truth, beloved. Are you passing the message of Christ along on to others?
