Welcome to part two, Dr. Robert Millett, John chapters two through four.

This verse 30 is important to me when we talked before with Dr. Steve Harper about this,

but just briefly the idea of a spiritually clips, Joseph McConkey in a classroom showed

us a picture of an eclipse once and he said, what's happening?

Well, the moon's in front of the sun and he said, what happens then if anyone or anything

gets in front of the S.O.N. the sun and he said, that's a spiritually clips and shook

his finger at us and said, don't ever become a spiritually clips.

What a wonderful metaphor I've never forgotten.

Teachers really need to take heed.

The issue isn't how impressive I am.

The issue is how I can point myself.

We've had teachers that did it the right way and that is you never left that person's

class saying, wow, this person is powerful.

I've never heard anybody knew the scriptures that well, but you do leave deeply touched.

Maybe you're saying, I want to go read or I want to go study.

Yeah, the temptation is to get them pointed toward you rather than to the Savior.

And I think that's a scary business.

Meaning they're picking up on your charisma more than they are on the Lord himself.

The outcome that you're after is that people are closer to the Savior or they're intrigued.

I think that we've talked about that series called The Chosen and what I like is people

are saying, wow, I got to read that and see how the scriptures actually described what

happened there.
