Welcome
I hope you will find this web-site informational
and this ministry helpful. The purpose of Divide-The-Truth is to
help the Sunday School be better equipped in teaching the Word of
God so they may apply God’s Truth to their personal lives
and help those they teach do so also. It is my desire that each
week as teachers stand before their classes they have the tools
to teach God’s Word accurately and with authority.
The ministry now offered actually began in 1999. It was during
my first associate staff position, fresh out of seminary, that I
began to see the need for helping my teachers do a better job. This
feeling was only confirmed when teachers would come to me and ask, “What
do you think this means?” or “I had someone ask… but
I did not have the answer.” I am sure you have heard the same
or similar type questions, and if you are like me, you feel that
this is a reflection on your teaching or lack of teaching. To be
frank, I took it personally when my Sunday School teachers were
not well prepared to teach. I began to think of ways that I could
help them. The best solution I came to was to actually teach the
lesson to them one week in advance. What you see is the outcome
of over five years of studying, teaching, and always looking for
a better way to provide teachers with God’s Word that is “rightly
divided.”
As you read the notes, you will notice that there is often times
far more material than can be taught in the time allowed. My purpose
is not that all the material be taught in the class time but that
the teacher be taught. A better taught teacher is a better teaching
teacher. It is always better to have more to teach than to not have
enough. Your Sunday School teachers only have their class together
for teaching for about one hour a week. Give them the best so they
can be the best. Give them the most so they can use that time teaching
God’s Word “rightly.”

not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."
