The Helpful Teacher
One of the marks of a truly great teacher is if they are willing and able to help their students understand the content they are providing. It is not particular hard to provide information to students – AI, Google, etc, all do that. But Chat GPT does not teach. AI does not impart understanding. TheyContinue reading “The Helpful Teacher”
The Level Path
Psalm 27 is one of my favorite Psalms. It is a Psalm of David during which he praises God for salvation from His enemies and expresses his complete love and trust in Yahweh (David uses God’s covenant name 13 times throughout the Psalm). David begins: The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?The Lord is the stronghold ofContinue reading “The Level Path”

The Mountain of Prayer
Repeatedly in the Gospels, Jesus went to the mountains to pray. Isolating Himself, Jesus spent time in those mountains focusing solely on His communication with God. And after Jesus had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone…(Matt. 14:23) There is no better example ofContinue reading “The Mountain of Prayer”
