Thank God for many of you, who are teachers by profession. Enjoy these Bible Verses about Teachers and Godly teaching. And teaching goes beyond the classroom in school or in the Church. When we look at our relationships, we might be surprised to learn that we all might be a “teacher” to someone, as a parent or grandparent or employer or classmate or older sibling or friend. These Scriptures about Godly teaching are God’s Word that we can use daily in our relationships with our family and friends and Church family.
