One of the most important attitudes students should demonstrate is respect. Students need to respect their teachers because their teachers are in a position of authority and have more experience/knowledge than they do. But respecting strangers doesn’t come naturally to everyone – some people need help learning how to show respect for their teachers. SoContinue reading “Teach Me to Fear”

Help Me Understand
One of the main goals of a teacher is to help their students understand the material and its application. It isn’t enough for them to just “know” – they need to understand. So, what does it mean to truly understand? The definition of understand is: đź“ť to grasp the meaning, reasonableness, significance, or explanation ofContinue reading “Help Me Understand”

Teachers are more than just “teachers” to their students. The best of teachers not only teach but are also listening ear, sympathetic heart, and wise counselor to their students.

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.

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 Suffering & Sacrifice

The hill was called “Golgotha” or the Place of the Skull because the rock formation looked like a skull. Nevertheless, a small mountain or hill was a part ofContinue reading “The Mountain of Suffering & Sacrifice”

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”
Fire in the Cloud
When the children of Israel finally completed constructing the Tabernacle, the glory of God came and filled the Tabernacle. As long as the cloud during the day and the fire at night were present, so was God. In all the travels of the Israelites, whenever the cloud lifted from above the tabernacle, they would setContinue reading “Fire in the Cloud”

It is unknown which mountain Jesus, John, James, and Peter ascended the day Jesus was transfigured. However, many scholars believe the mountain was Mount Tabor. Mount Tabor is 575 meters or 1,886 feet high.
