Teaching and Learning Text: Proverbs 22:6
“Teach a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6).
When Mother Teresa created the convent, she used a white background and blue stripes as a nunnery, which was commonly worn by scavengers in India. And he felt that it was not enough to wear Indian women's clothes to work for the people of Calcutta. So that year I gave up my citizenship and became an Indian citizen. Then Mother Teresa made this confession.
“It is the poor people of India that have made me who I am today. I owe them. My life and my soul are among them.”
How is true spiritual learning obtained? Mother Teresa realizes that it is not achieved through theory, but through true love and devotion.
“Be wholehearted in all these things, that your progress may be made visible to all” (1 Timothy 4:15).
A young man came to me and asked me to make a disciple. It has been three years since I became a disciple, but I did not teach anything. Then I asked the teacher.
"Teacher, why don't you teach me a word? Do you not regard me as a disciple?"
After a while, the master spoke up.
“Does not heaven teach without teaching, and earth love without saying that it loves?
A true disciple must learn to learn without teaching, and must know how to feel love without saying that he loves you!"
It is, of course, necessary to receive spiritual instruction and learning from others. But God wants each of us to grow into those who can meet their spiritual needs on their own and regularly through the Word and life.
“And teach them to your children, and preach these words when you sit at home, when you walk on the road, when you lie down, and when you get up, and write them on the doorposts of your house and on your outer door.” (Deuteronomy 11:19) - 20)
Most homes today use sponges. Sponges were originally sea animals, but when these living sponges are caught from the sea and scraped of living tissue from their bodies, they soon become useful household items. The structure of the remaining sponge is made up of porous, loose cellular tissue that can easily absorb liquids. Children are like these sponges. They absorb the attitudes and thoughts of adults with them like a sponge. Therefore, we must be very careful with the words and actions that will fill the hearts of children. we are at home
What kind of words and attitudes are you showing? Are you also setting a good example of caring for your neighbors?
We must put a lot of effort into filling the hearts of children with the Word of God.
When children grow up and become adults, they will express what they accepted when they were sensitive. Therefore, we believe that these little 'sponges' are pure and wholesome in our homes and churches.
It should help you absorb the things that build your character right.
If you want your children to pray, set an example in prayer and if you want to teach your children to rely on and obey the Word of God, parents must obey the Word first. There is no such thing as a name for a child to teach like a parent trying to live according to God's will. Therefore, let's look back on how we are seen as a parent and show our children the example of faith. Children are mirrors that reflect the actions of their parents. (Deuteronomy 6:1-9)
* Prayer: Lord, our Shepherd and Teacher, help us to become adults who can set a good example for our children. Help us to obey the word of the Lord and become a family and church overflowing with grace and peace. We pray in the name of our Savior Jesus. Amen
* Example: Teaching and Learning
It is said that when Prime Minister Churchill appeared as a judge at an art exhibition and judged it rigorously and rigorously, people booed him and said to him, "Why did someone who can't even paint come out on the jury?" "I can't lay eggs," Churchill said. However, you can tell whether the egg is overcooked or not.” In fact, it is not easy to point out someone for education. Just because you point it out doesn't mean you don't have anything to point out, and it doesn't mean you're perfect. Being able to point out means being in a position to point out. Not only that, he pointed out in the hope that he could not achieve it, but that his juniors would complete it. For example, when playing table tennis, if you see someone who is inferior to me, you may want to inform and teach them, or if you continue to do so, you will be pointed out when it is judged that there is no further development.
However, if someone who is less good at table tennis than me asks, “Point out how good you are?” If you do, the person has nothing more to say. But just because I'm not perfect doesn't mean I can ignore what I've been taught. That means that the other party has neither the will to learn nor the will to fix it. In that case, nothing can be said. If you are not at the level, you can either put it together or evaluate your skills and, if your skills are not good, you can remove them from the ranks. However, pointing out and teaching means raising the level and enjoying it together. Pointing out, scolding, and teaching are virtually impossible without mutual trust. However, the more you think that you need to raise it to the highest level beyond the ordinary level, the more you will be criticized and pointed out. So is the Shaolin Temple, and so is the doctors. And so is the world of sports. The more careful learning is, the more rigorous it is to learn.
However, teaching through criticism and rebuke only hurts if true trust and love are not presupposed. Of course, it is not easy to apply this strictly to young children. It is because they do not yet know the depth of trust and love. Nevertheless, sometimes rigorous training is necessary. Strict education is absolutely necessary when you think that you need to correct this only. However, one thing we need to know is that it is impossible to achieve above-average standards in the educational field without rigorous training and intelligence. When it comes to creating the highest standards, the teaching is always strict, demanding and thorough. If you want to be the best, don't be afraid to be pointed out. Being the best and being criticized and pointed out can be life.

0 Don't be too strict about rebuking others for bad things. You have to think about whether you can afford it. Don't be too high to teach others good things. Do what the person can do. - Chae Geun-dam
0 Education doesn't mean teaching people to know what they don't know, but education means teaching people to act when they don't. - Mark Twain
