Give Them The Best You Have!!
A Back-To-School Lesson!
Romans 12:7
“If your gift is serving others,
serve them well.
If you are a teacher,
teach well.”
Titus 2:7-8
“In everything
set them an example by doing what is good.
In your teaching show integrity, seriousness
and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned,
so that those who oppose you
may be ashamed
because they have nothing bad to say about us.”

Where according to:
Prayers for Special Help,
“These Bible verses about teachers enlighten us
first on the exceptional responsibility that one has while teaching.
Due to the impact a teacher has on a student,
one quote warns us that teachers will be judged
with a greater strictness than others.
Jesus is often called a teacher
and he himself confirmed that he was one;
the apostles were also teachers.
The teaching passages above
also insist that the ability to teach is a gift
in which the teacher serves others
and leads by example
with the objective to make the students
as wise as the teacher.
It is the teacher’s task to study,
handle the truth correctly,
and teach accurate information
while treating the pupil with respect.
These quotes identify integrity,
dignity,
faithfulness,
and lack of hypocrisy
as traits that the teacher should possess.
Overall, the teacher is warned about too much study
that does not focus on the fear of God
and living a godly life.”
Humbling stuff, huh???
James 1:5
“If any of you lacks wisdom,
you should ask God,
who gives generously to all without finding fault,
and it will be given to you.”
Proverbs 22:6
“Train up a child in the way he should go:
and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
Luke 12:12
“…for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time
what you should say.”
2 Timothy 3:14-17
“But as for you,
continue in what you have learned
and have become convinced of,
because you know those from whom you learned it,
and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures,
which are able to make you wise for salvation
through faith in Christ Jesus.
All Scripture is God-breathed
and is useful for
teaching,
rebuking,
correcting
and training in righteousness,
so that the servant of God
may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
Deuteronomy 11:18-21
“Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds;
tie them as symbols on your hands
and bind them on your foreheads.
Teach them to your children,
talking about them when you sit at home
and when you walk along the road,
when you lie down
and when you get up.
Write them on the door frames of your houses
and on your gates,
so that your days
and the days of your children
may be many in the land the Lord
swore to give your ancestors,
as many as the days
that the heavens are above the earth.”
