A Physical for the Christian Soul

One of the pitfalls of having professional pastors (people who get paid to do ministry) is the false assumption that they are the ones who do "ministry" because of their gifting and calling.
Sure, pastors do ministry, but effective pastors teach others to do ministry including teaching the Bible and Jesus to others.
To be clear, you do not need to be gifted in teaching to teach the Bible to others. Let me explain.
If you can read a story out of a children's Bible to a child, you are teaching.
If you have a one-on-one conversation with a friend about an issue affecting him and talk about God's grace, quote a verse, use biblical principles – you are teaching. When you share how you trusted Jesus and he turned your life around, you are teaching.
We are just one to two generations away from Christianity being marginalized into obscurity. The Old Testament teaches us that lesson. In one instance, Ezra returned with the Jews to Jerusalem after 70 years of exile to discover only a small number of Jews in Jerusalem knew God. If it happened then, it can happen now.
This is why Paul exhorts Timothy in 2 Timothy 2:2 to teach others about God's Word. "What you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also." (ESV)
Jesus' parting words to his disciples before ascending into heaven were: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." (Matthew 28:19-20 ESV)
This is an empathic command. He isn't declaring, suggesting, or asking. He is commanding His people (at the time, his disciples; now it's us) to make disciples through evangelism (baptizing) and discipleship (teaching).
Regardless of our gifting, each of us can explain the basics of the Bible and who Jesus is ... even if that means nothing else than how God has touched us personally.
Be encouraged ... for you have been given the spirit of boldness, not timidity (2 Timothy 1:7), in part to teach others about the greatest book ever written with a hero who will never let you down. Yes, even you can teach people about Jesus.
