"Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching." (2 Tim. 4:2)

An army Chaplin was ministering to a dying boy in World War II. He asked if there was any message he would like to send home. The young man replied, "Yes, tell mom and dad I died happy. Also, tell my Bible class teacher that I died a Christian, and I have never forgotten his teaching."

A few weeks later the army Chaplin received a letter from the Bible class teacher. The letter said, "God have mercy upon me. Only last month I resigned from teaching Bible classes, for I felt that my teaching was not doing any good; and scarcely had I, through my cowardly, faithless heart, given up my appointed work, when I got your letter telling me that my teaching had been the means of winning a soul to God. I'm taking up my work again and, in Christ's name, I'll be faithful to the end."

Let us steadfastly teach the will of God as we have opportunity.
