  9. How to be a competent Christian teacher (admonition to LU teachers) • Pray and stay in the Word • Don’t compare yourself to other teachers • Always strive to learn more • Re-evaluate your teaching methods regularly • Share your faith • Stay positive

  10. What is our reward? • “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His Hands.” Psalm 19:1 • We seek to celebrate God’s glory and greatness seen in creation. Integration satisfies the human quest for joy and praise.
