The sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God

2 Peter 1:20-21
"But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God."

In the front of my Bible is written something one of my pastors used to say: This Book will keep you from sin; sin will keep you from this Book.

The Bible is God's Word, completely authoritative and without error- in the original documents. I can't vouch for every one of the hundreds of translations on the earth, but I'd say we at least got it pretty close.

What makes a good teacher?

Since I've been an education major for four years, this is a question that many professors have asked me, and that I've asked of myself. I've been mentoring and volunteering at a Baltimore charter school for the past three weeks, so I decided to ask my students.

Interestingly enough, nearly ALL of them, from kindergarten to seventh grade, said, "one who is nice and doesn't yell all the time."

Fellow teachers, please don't yell in your frustration. Although it may be the natural response, it makes both your students and you even more stressed out.
