Why does Les say his Bible teaching is effective for ordinary people?
His teaching is effective for ordinary people because he presents himself as an average Sunday school teacher without deep theological background, and he believes the Lord gave him the gift of explaining Scripture in a way common folk can understand.
Les explains that he is not a degreed, educated theologian. He says he is more like the average Sunday school teacher and does not claim any deep theological background. He feels the Lord has given him the gift of teaching the Bible in a way common folk can understand, and he says that is what makes it all work. He also appreciates viewers who write to him simply as “dear Les” and do not try to make him something more than he is.
