Becoming a Biblical Teacher

Faithful Bible teachers need not only be gifted by Christ. They also need to be trained and committed to working hard to grow and progress as a teacher. Paul exhorted Timothy to "give attention to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation and teaching” (1 Tim 4:13). And he charged him to "take pains with these things; be absorbed in them, so that your progress will be evident to all" (1 Tim 4:15).
