Teaching as Stewardship

The greatest of all the gifts of God is charity. The principles of the gospel teach us how to love, to have charity. The ordinances of the gospel increase our power to love. Stewardship gives focus to our love.

Family relationships give stewardship pattern to our love:

  • To love father and mother we obey.
  • To love brother or sister we share.
  • To love son or daughter we bless.

A teacher is like a brother or sister

Teachers share with others:

  • Knowledge
  • Testimony
  • Wonderings
  • Joy
  • Wealth
  • Time
  • Concerns
  • Griefs
  • Sorrows
  • Poverty
  • Ignorance

The teacher’s role is to share good and absorb evil.
