How can I teach people from different denominations without seeming to proselytize them?
Teach the whole Bible from Genesis to Revelation rather than promoting a particular church or denomination. Trust the Lord to handle the outcome, and wait for invitations instead of trying to start something yourself. That approach lets people from different backgrounds receive Scripture without feeling pressured to join your church.
Les explains that when asked how to teach people of different denominational backgrounds without appearing to proselytize them, the counsel was to go back to Genesis 1 and teach from Genesis to Revelation. He was told to trust the Lord, who would take care of it. Les also notes that he never goes out and tries to open something himself; he waits until someone invites him to start a class. His first class began with four people, and by Thanksgiving it had grown and had to be split because people from several denominations were attending. That same pattern continued, including television, which began after a student asked whether he had ever thought about teaching on television.
