What responsibility does a person accept when they pick up the Bible to teach it?

Les explains that every time a person picks up the Bible—whether as a Sunday school teacher or just leading a small devotional—they accept a tremendous responsibility. He says he does not take it lightly, because if he were guilty of misleading someone to the place of missing heaven’s glory, he would have to answer for it. He connects this to his warning that preachers and theologians who mislead people will have the hottest corner in the lake of fire, since they mislead multitudes. Les says he would be scared to death of presenting an error. Though he admits he is human, not above error, and does not expect everyone to agree with him, he refuses to compromise the fundamentals: who Christ is, His virgin birth, His deity as God the Creator, His atoning work of the cross as completing every bit of God’s requirement for salvation, His resurrection, and His coming again. He finds confidence in testimonies of people who write and call expressing the joy of salvation, which he views as God’s approval on the ministry.
