The title of this post seems a little high falutin bearing in mind that I just want to acknowledge the difficulty of being in a position of responsibility (especially being involved in teaching) having having to live a blameless life for the sake of those we have responsibility for.
In an hour I'll be teaching a session on 'Self-Control' and I know that it's an area where I am weak. I've been struggling with self-discipline recently, as my usually-quite-structed time with God has been all over the place in the last week. I'm feeling that, let me tell you.
So, I can throw in the towel or get up there and teach. Actually, there's a third option. I can teach the stuff I know to be true, whilst prefacing it with an acknowledgement of my own hypocrisy in this area. That's the option for me, and it's really the only option for any of us.
"Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers, for we know that we who teach will be judged more severly" - James 3:1
