Checking on the Teacher

What a glorious Resurrection Sunday morning. We had a service to praise and thank God for His Son's resurrection, breakfast (pastor-fried eggs we're a big hit), children's sermon & egg hunt, and then did our regular Sunday schedule. Long, busy ministry morning. Praise the Lord.

For some men, straying from these things, have turned aside to fruitless discussion, wanting to be teachers of the Law, even though they do not understand either what they are saying or the matters about which they make confident assertions. (1Ti 1:7)

Those teaching strange doctrines and paying to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, well, their spinning their wheels and wasting time. but more seriously they have these confident assertions--Paul implies these assertions lead others astray when he says they are wanting to teach the Law.

Do you have, pastor, someone or a small group of men who check on you are your teaching? I love the Bereans in my congregation--there are several. it never bothers me to be checked up on, especially when it's done in love. Twice in my 11 years here, both times while making spare of the moment comment on the next I have erred in some minor way without realizing it. Praise God for those who check--pastor or not.
