The goal of every gospel teacher—

every parent, every formally called

teacher, every home teacher and

visiting teacher, and every follower

of Christ—is to teach the pure

doctrine of the gospel, by the Spirit,

in order to help God’s children build

their faith in the Savior and become

more like Him. (Front page of booklet “Teaching in the Savior’s Way”)

Teachers” video, Jeffrey R. Holland
