What is the goal of Bible teaching?
The goal is to help people understand what the Bible actually says, rather than what they think it says or what others claim it says. It aims to move listeners to search the Scriptures for themselves and test whether these things are so, relying solely on God's Word.
Les explains that the aim is not to get people to follow what we think, what someone else says, or what a denomination or group says, but to get people to understand what the book really says. He encourages listeners to take their Bibles and notes and follow along, and to search the Scriptures to see if these things are so. His stock answer to callers is, "What does your Bible say?" If they cannot find it in their Bible, he says they should run from it, because the Word of God is the only thing we have to go by, and that is how God will judge us someday.
