A Tool For Bible Teachers

The best teachers are those who never cease being students. This is especially so when it comes to teachers of God’s Word. Scripture is the inexhaustible mine of God’s infinite truth. It is a thrill to roll up your sleeves, gather your tools, and crawl into the deep treasure trove of the Bible! David expressed this joy when he wrote, “And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved” (Psalm 119:47).

God has designed the Word to be continually received and relayed. We take it in – and we give it out.

All of us who teach the Word are on the watch for helpful resources. I am happy to share with you a new tool which we pray will be a blessing to many. My own study of the life of Joseph has been a great help to my faith and walk with Christ. Our full-length book, The LORD Was With Joseph, is available in both hardback and digital form, along with a companion study guide for group study. (You may access all of the Joseph series resources, including free downloads and graphics, at enjoyingthejourney.org/Joseph.)

Next week we are releasing a series of videos specifically for Bible teachers on how to teach through the life of Joseph. Subscribe to our YouTube channel and watch for a new video each evening next week (Monday-Saturday). A brief overview of each lesson is given, along with helpful suggestions for effective teaching. The first video on Monday evening will give a short introduction to the series.

Grab your Bible, the Joseph resources, something to take notes on, and let’s jump into Genesis together! Thank you for studying with us and passing on the truth to others.

Now, I am no engineer! But the principle applies to us all: The easiest thing in the world is to have a complicated life. The hardest thing in the world is to have a simple life. You have to work hard to keep it simple.

You Have to Work Hard to Keep it Simple

The idea of building a monument was not that of Joshua, but of God. God instructed Joshua to have twelve men remove a stone from a prescribed place, place it on their shoulders and bear it up out of Jordan. It was to be taken to their place of lodging. What purpose could possibly be served in carrying twelve large river rocks approximately six or seven miles to Gilgal? God said to! In Joshua, we find that God is a monument builder. 

The Monument Builder

In the Second Boer War in South Africa, 13,000 British troops were trapped for 118 days in what is now known as the Siege of Ladysmith. Food diminished, and disease grew. Worst of all, discouragement set in. A civilian was arrested, tried, and sentenced to a year in jail for being a discourager! This man was not a traitor, but he walked around town and spoke discouraging things to men who were on guard against the enemy. The deepest wound you can inflict is to wound a person’s spirit (Proverbs 18:14). Image of the relief of the siege

The Power of Encouragement and the Peril of Discouragement 

In 2 Kings 5, we read a tale of three servants: Naaman, the Little Maid, and Gehazi. No matter your past, you can find healing like Naaman. Regardless of your circumstances, like the maid, God can bless and use you for eternity. Even if you have experienced great victory, you can fall into sin, just like Gehazi.
