David poured out his heart to God in anguish over his sin with Bathsheba. He was a broken man, fully penitent over his moral failure. We read his prayer in Psalm 51.

Interestingly, he resolves to proceed to teach other sinners when he has once again been filled with God’s Spirit and has been renewed. He uses the phrase, “Restore to me the joy of Thy Salvation.”

Effective teachers have been broken, processed, and restored. They didn’t kill the truth … they just proved it right.
