So I’m not sure how I should take this teaching thing. After having taught non-stop for several months I let my co-teacher take over this time. He said some good things about me in front of the class. Said something to the effect that there’s a special place in heaven for Bible school teachers. I’d like to think that way. Nice. Thanks.
I really enjoy teaching. I think it has to do with my personality. If I could only get better at it. My introverted personality just isn’t made for it. Then again ISFJ’s make good teachers. Ironic.
More than anything else, as far as teaching goes, I think it would be great…even extraordinary…to be asked by one of my students to sit down and study the Bible one-on-one with them in hopes of converting them. One year ago I might have balked at the idea of this, because I felt like I wouldn’t know the first thing about doing this. But now I look forward to it. It’s really sorta easy. And even easier with a young person who doesn’t really have built up prejudices about church and stuff like that. Of course you have to be sure that they are really doing it for the right reasons and not just to look good to their parents or peers. Salvation is so much a personal thing between you and God, and shouldn’t have to do with one’s relationship with others.
Maybe I’ll get my chance to do that again in the future. If I keep doing what I’m doing, I’m sure I could have the extraordinary opportunity to do this.
