Romans 15:14 tells us to instruct one another. One on my daughters has been in school for many, many years. She has been learning formally working toward her PHD and is teaching at the University of Utah at the same time. She is getting a formal education, working toward a formal PHD. Most learning happens in a much less formal way. Mothers teach their babies so much in the first two years of life. Kids learn by watching others in daily life, what to do, and what not to do. Family learning is more than often called training. We can teach with our words, but we train with our life. If our teaching and our training doesn’t line up, or our words and actions aren’t aligned, all of our teaching and words will be nullified. How you act on Sunday at church, shouldn’t be an act! It should be how you live your life 24/7! Monday through Sunday, our words and our actions should line up. It is called walking the walk, and talking the talk. We can instruct others, not just with our words, but with our life, day after day. Our conversations and daily activities are often the most common way we teach or instruct others. So remember every day, people are watching you, and learning from you.
