I have learned that teaching doctrine and teaching obedience are two very different things.
From Contagious Disciple Making
I read Paul and David Watson’s amazing book Contagious Disciple Making this week and left with this insight into teaching: I can say all the right things as a teacher, but if I don’t do them myself my students will not listen.
The doctrines in English lit are clarity and concision, a commitment to revision, and a desire to interpret the world in a way consistent with your faith.
This is so much easier to say than do.
God, help me to do all of this: not just in my reading and my reading but in my personal interactions with each of my students.
