Tagline (the modern day version of the thrust): Teach truth, not falsehood.
Title (modern day version of the theme or topic): Responsible Teaching
Thoughts (explanation, proof and application of the Turning Point and Tagline):
Teaching the Bible is a wonderful vocation. But it can also be misused, especially if what we’re teaching does not conform to the truth of the Bible. Some people are so eager, and even passionate, to teach the Bible without first checking if what they’re teaching is in accordance with God’s word. People look up to Bible teachers, and they influence many people, so they must be careful. We need to remember, “Teaching the Bible is a major responsibility.” So teach truth, not falsehood.
