30Then Moses said to the people of Israel, "See, the LORD has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; 31and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, with intelligence, with knowledge, and with all craftsmanship, 32to devise artistic designs, to work in gold and silver and bronze, 33in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, for work in every skilled craft. 34And he has inspired him to teach, both him and Oholiab the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan.In reading this morning, I thought it interesting that God didn't just give these guys the skills they needed to do this work, but that He also inspired them to teach others. It would seem a general principle that those whom God endows with particular skills are obligated, both to use those skills for His glory, and to pass them on.
This is a basic principle underlying the work of Wycliffe, and one of the reasons we are doing this. Glorifying God in an academically sound manner; doing things right, and helping others to do so, as well.
