Teaching Gospel Doctrine

Right now, I have the privilege of being a Sunday School teacher at church. I currently teach the Gospel Doctrine class. We are studying the New Testament right now. I just started a couple months ago this time around, but I had the calling for about two years, and then someone else taught for the last two. It is my favorite calling. I LOVE the studying that I need to do. No matter how bad my week is, I need to make sure I prepare for class.

This week we are in James. I was reading in the study manual how James is set up similiar to the Sermon on the Mount, and many of the same principles can be found in these chapters. It also pointed out, as James himself does, that his epistle is for latter-day Israel, not for the members back then. Apparently, many scholars dont understand the idea of a spiritual Isreal, so they think he was writing to Jewish Christians at the time, when he was in fact wrting to us. This of course, makes the fact that it was in James that Joseph was reading when he felt that prompting to go ask of God, really amazing.

I am always overwhelmed at the evidences in the scripture that testify of the Lord's hand in everything. I also teach early morning seminary, and the evidences of Him in the Old Testament is astounding!

Whoops, apparently Princess Chaluba is not asleepp for the night,
