If you think
learning is weighted to the side of the instructor you probably are not going
to learn much no matter how good the instruction is.
We say it like this,
‘I didn’t get anything out of that sermons’ or ‘the teacher is too boring to
keep my attention’, or ‘that person just can’t relate to the audience’. They
are all are ways of saying the same thing. The failure to learn is not the fault
of the learner
However, let’s
consider this scripture:
A scoffer seeks wisdom and finds none, But knowledge is easy to one who
has understanding.
Proverbs 14:6
Notice the difference?
Those that are quick to judge the
process never seem to find anything at all. But for those wanting to learn,
there is plenty to find. If we are too busy judging
the lesson, it removes the possibility of getting
the lesson (James 4:11).
Don’t think I’m
saying there are not needed improvement in our teaching, there absolutely are!
What I’m trying to get at is that if we really want to learn, we can get something out of about any lesson. There
is still nutrition in untasty meals.
Instead of wasting everything
let’s try to get out what we can. It may be a lot more than we think!
