James 3:1
Thanks be to God for dedicated and faithful teachers!

"The student is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher." Luke 6:40 NIV
Having trained and supervised many, I am aware that there are a minority of people who prefer not to be trained; not to learn how to do any right or well. There are people out there who simply don't care. However; having supervised the training of both paid employees and volunteers for close to forty years, I have found that the majority of people learn quite well when they are trained or taught properly and treated with respect. When businesses have to continually hire people week after week for the same entry level positions, maybe it's time for a change in the training department or management so that the cost of rehiring might be minimized.
When Jesus called his disciples, they followed him around for three years; watching and doing and learning. After he was crucified they still hadn't quite gotten everything they needed to know; so after his ascension to the right hand of God, he sent the Holy Spirit to continue to guide and train his followers. To aid in our respective callings training needs to be on-going. It does not end after one week or one hour of formal training. God doesn't quit teaching. So why do we?
May God teach us how to teach others in a manner that will be more beneficial to all.
God's Peace - Pr. J
