“Take Your Time and Teach it Right”

Nehemiah 8:1-8

Malachi 2:6 reads, “They passed on to people the truth of the instructions they received from
me. They did not lie or cheat, they walked with me, living good and righteous lives, and they
turned many from lives of sin. (NLT) This verse is designed to share the way godly priests
operated in the Old Testament. Any person tasked with teaching God’s Word, should carry it
out with excellency as well as accuracy. A failure to do both could lead to much harm for
children of the Most High God. This lesson is designed to share advantages of ministering
the Holy Scriptures factually.
