Conversion is not the responsibility of the Teacher




"The word of God is sufficiently powerful that gospel teachers or preachers do not need to assume the burden of converting their listeners. There is sufficient for the gospel teacher to do by way of reading, studying, preparing, praying, organizing, and presenting that here she need not fill the obligation to create a spiritual experience. We need not use up the role of the Holy Ghost. Ultimately He is the teacher, He is the converter, He is the member of the eternal Godhead charged with carrying the word of truth into the hearts and minds of the children and men. He is the agent of the new birth who sanctifies and empowered human beings."
