We study books of the Bible verse by verse. He does at times exhort, make personal applications and give examples during his teaching. All of his messages keep me engrossed and my mind rarely wanders. There is no shouting or empassioned pleeding. There is urging. The scriptures come alive, feeding my soul and transforming me by the Holy Spirit. He also teaches subjects in our Bible college classes. These are largely informative such as church history , bible history, and doctrine. They are more of an intellectual nature. But I am still kept engrossed. Since we are to preach the Word, in season and out of season, I don't see that they are so easily separated. I do find that the message the Holy Spirit has for the churches is often repeated by sermons in other denominations during the same week. Empassioned shouting and pleeding does not make preaching authentic. The message of the Holy Spirit makes it authentic. A lot of people have yelled about hell fire and sin with great disdain. The more godly messages have proclaimed God's love and compassion for sinners and His grief over the sin that besets us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teaching: Expounding upon the message proclaimed by those who preach. My wife and I are the opposite of this. Wherever we go, whatever we do, I share the word of God however I can. My wife picks up on what I say and starts preaching it, and is she ever good. We are a great team, praise the Lord! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qnts2 Posted December 5, 2015 Group: Royal Member Followers: 3 Topic Count: 20 Topics Per Day: 0.00 Content Count: 2,875 Content Per Day: 0.71 Reputation: 1,336 Days Won: 9 Joined: 03/13/2013 Status: Offline Share Posted December 5, 2015 Going by the definitions of the Greek words translated as preach vs. teach, it is clear that we are dealing with two different words with two different meanings. (Also, as a side note, since one of the gifts is teaching, it is an error to reject teaching as God gave some to be teachers. To reject teaching by those gifted to be teachers, is to reject a gift of God given for our benefit). Matthew 10:7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. From Strongs, for preach: kēryssō verb to be a herald, to officiate as a herald to proclaim after the manner of a herald always with the suggestion of formality, gravity and an authority which must be listened to and obeyed to publish, proclaim openly: something which has been done Matthew 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. From Strongs for teach: didaskō verb to teach to hold discourse with others in order to instruct them, deliver didactic discourses to be a teacher to discharge the office of a teacher, conduct one's self as a teacher to teach one to impart instruction instill doctrine into one the thing taught or enjoined to explain or expound a thing to teach one something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I DO have a problem with various and sundry people setting themselves up as 'teachers' and proceeding to teach theology and tell everyone what Scripture means as seen from their own point of view. We should reject that kind of thing because it simply causes confusion among the brethren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, discussion is a good thing. But, with some, it's imperative that everyone accept their beliefs.....or else. That's not good for anyone.
