Presume

Book: James
Chapter: 3
Verse: 1
Phrase: Not many of you should presume to be teachers
Word: Presume
Thought: Dictionary.com describes presume as "to undertake with unwarrantable boldness." Too often I presume to teach on things I do not know. I presume to give my opinion on things which I have no expertise. This verse tells me that I will be held to a higher accountability if I undertake this position. I must be careful what I am teaching. I must study to show myself approved unto God a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth.
