I\nhad not had supper; I was thirsty and because I was small, I got assigned to a\ntiny chair shoved against the back window. I was too short to see and too far\naway to hear. Professor Paul had forgotten his visual aids; the hefty\nvocabulary he used was all Greek to me. All I could grasp was the rumbling\nfaint voice echoing like the hum of a fan. About the 6<sup>th<\/sup> hour, I\nlost any hope of fresh air, of understanding those big words, or of getting to\nsee anything,\u201d wrote Eutychus. You know the rest of the story (Acts 20). We\nknow that Paul was a good teacher (inspired!), but this young man may have been\ntoo immature to assimilate the mature message. He needed teaching at his level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the last few years, this column&nbsp;covered ideas for\nteaching at different levels, for simple object lessons, for extra-biblical\nmaterials to enhance learning, techniques to engage the students, and ideas\nthat hopefully set your wheels turning for other ideas suitable to&nbsp;&nbsp;\nyour classroom situation. The gift of teaching is not to be taken lightly and I\nfirmly believe those who are called to teach God\u2019s Word have the most to answer\nfor. It is imperative, then, that this teacher is fully prepared, armed with\nknowledge, wisdom, and all patience. Those who teach little ones need a double\ndose of all of the above. That way when pupils argue, as my grandsons did, over\nwhether the \u201cbrown stuff\u201d in the wedding jug (John 2) is Coke or sweet tea, you\ncan settle the matter. Let me know how you explain wine to a 4 year old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My purpose has been to give you encouragement but mostly to\nmake your mind work, whether by giving you a place to start, or by egging you\non with my lame idea so that you came up with a better one. You may have been\npushed to look up some extra material, to&nbsp;create a little extra technique\nso that younger students learn with application, a good tool for immature\nminds. Give your students the&nbsp; armor of God\u2019s Word, the ultimate power\ntool.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Remind yourself that the Word of God has endured\nthe ages and it will continue to do so; good teaching of the Word must also\nendure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you for your emails with comments that were both\nencouraging and helpful and for the opportunity to help those of you who asked\nfor further information or ideas. My column will take a different avenue for\nawhile, but I am always available to help any who email me.
