Passion

J. B. Phillips once wrote a great book with the title Your God Is Too Small. Someone needs to write a book entitled Your Teacher Is Too Boring. Jesus, the greatest teacher who ever lived, was anything but boring. He came to light a fire. Nothing he said was a sleeper.

Find a teacher like that. Passion is one of our greatest foods of the soul. It's an essential human need. Passion relieves boredom because it turns both our head and our heart. For it is our hearts that accept the truth. 

Teaching without passion is like a mountain without a summit. It is stupid, boring, and ugly. Truth, however, is always good, true, and beautiful. 

Only a live wire can shock you. Find a teacher who's alive.
