I see some congruence between this post and that one. Whether one is a Sunday School teacher, preacher, etc. there are people who have put forth some effort to be in a certain place at a certain time in order to be spiritually nourished. It is important to use that time in a way that can be eternally productive.<br /><br /><br />And, as your last sentence implies and as Phil has blogged previously, making the most of that time means telling people what they <i>need</i> to hear, even if not always what they <i>want</i> to hear.mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00944721261850361610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-22400808722639785832012-04-19T10:04:27.290-07:002012-04-19T10:04:27.290-07:00One of the things our pastor has taught us about t...One of the things our pastor has taught us about the Bible is that when it is preached expositionally, the preacher is forced to deal with the doctrine and the application all in due order.<br /><br />By the way, where did you get that picture of Nick Saban near the end of the post?Robert Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03174579068882302654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-17794611946279745372012-04-19T09:48:59.366-07:002012-04-19T09:48:59.366-07:00"Sister Show Mercy" just below this post..."Sister Show Mercy" just below this post is an example.

A lady invited them over for Sunday dinner after church and they somehow found out she was illiterate so young Mr. McGee decided to impress her with his knowledge but she apparently knew more Bible than he did and she had them listening to her. I'd say she went to a good church. <br /><br />Will an illiterate person who regularly attends the church for every available service know enough Bible to teach it?Mizz Harpyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18220764076008867988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-20503865695908516112012-04-19T06:24:40.843-07:002012-04-19T06:24:40.843-07:00I can't help but to see a connection between t...I can't help but to see a connection between this and yesterday's post from Frank. I mean, how can a multi-site pastor understand what level of understanding the congregations in other areas have? How can he connect with them to make sure that they understand? <br /><br />Great post, Dan. I am assuming that if one were to add emphasis, one might state the three words like this: tell <b><i>me</i></b> how. This is in contrast to many modern churches seeing this emphasis: teach me <b><i>how</i></b>. I guess that nuance does count, huh?Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13987985549747283669noreply@blogger.com
