"They learn from what I am excited about..."

"It’s worth asking ourselves regularly: Is it clear to others that nothing excites me more than the gospel of Jesus Christ and him crucified?"  Here is a blog post to read and consider.


D.A. Carson:
If I have learned anything in 35 or 40 years of teaching, it is that students don’t learn everything I teach them. What they learn is what I am excited about, the kinds of things I emphasize again and again and again and again. That had better be the gospel.

The sermon at church ran along the same lines as this article, but this blog post is worth taking note of.

Here are the questions I am asking myself in response to reading this article:

- I need to be regularly asking my wife and others around me: Based on what you see in my life, my time, my money, my attention, what would you say I am the most passionate about?

- Do I put hope, confidence and assurance in some technique or parenting style instead of the Hope of the Gospel of Jesus Christ?
