What teachers have been a blessing to you?

[Guest luckydave2003]

Haven't been on WB long enough to really count it (yet) - if you ask me again in a bit and that might be different. For me, McGee is at the top of the list. Would you count commentaries? I do, I learn a lot for commentaries. The best one that I have seen so far and the one I use the most is the Bible Believers Commentary. The HS goes without saying, but I don't think that was the point of the original question.

My high school english teacher. She taught me how to understand the "between the lines" things in everyones writings. It was her knowledge and ability to share it that gave me the tools to better understand all the things I read.

Now if she could have only taught me to spell........

I like McGee too. Also C.S. Lewis and Watchman Nee. Many others have added a lot to my understanding including websites such as Misslers, but those first were the ones I learned from in the beginnning of my Christian life.

The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit are my favorite teachers. All worship to the King.

I've been really blessed to be able to hear Robert Thompson (www.wor.org) and read all his writings, and also read the old puritan writings of Richard Baxter. Both of them are very practical and challenging.

Aye, I love Puritanical writings. So biblically sound... such wisdom and insight. It seems as though the english language of yesteryear was so much more direct and forceful. Therefore, the writers of those eras seemed to write with so much urgency.

Much of today's books are a little too casual and lackadaisical. But, perhaps that is just the way the language has evolved.

You know, now "cool" means "good."

Of course all worship goes to the King of Kings. My intention on this thread wasn't to "glorify man," but rather for us to share who, physically speaking, has been instrumental in our growth and walk in the Lord. We have all been discipled and shepherded by someone.

1Ti 5:17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.

Still, we should give double honor to those who labor in the word and doctrine that they may feed the children of God. This is God ordained.

Blessings....

I enjoy reading, and read alot.

The Holy Spirit is my all time blessing. I recall feeling conviction in my early teens, and wasn't in church or around christians or anything. Just doing or saying something I shouldn't be, and wham I'd know it was wrong. Not my conscience, as I didn't have much of one then, definately deeper than that.

My grandfather has taught me humility, and perserverance,

My mother has taught me what unconditional love is.

My father has taught me the importance of working hard,and being responsible.

My husband has taught me to look within to find my self worth, and beauty.

Pastor Darin preached the salvation message that saved my soul.

My children...have evoked every emotion possible from me. They have definately increased my prayer life.

Joy a lady I met in a park taught me that even as a baby christian I had an amazing gift to share to people with no hope. God used that experience to increase His kingdom. Forever etching in my heart what my calling is. My purpose in this life.

A poor lady in a bakery was used by the Lord to teach me the gift of giving.

The drunk begging for money has been used to teach me tolerance, and give me a heart for the lost.

There are many more, and God is forever teaching me new things.
