What is the difference between what Les does on his program and what preachers and evangelists do?
The program is a Bible study, not preaching at people; preaching is left to preachers and evangelists. The aim is to teach the Word, helping listeners understand what it says, why it says it, and to whom it is spoken.
Les explains that his program is a Bible study, not a preaching service. He tells people, “I don’t preach at people,” and notes that many letters thank him because he doesn’t preach at them. He leaves preaching to the preachers and evangelists. His stated aim is simply to teach the Word and help people understand what it says, why it says it, and to whom it is spoken. He adds that this makes all the difference, because trying to apply Old Testament passages directly today brings trouble.
