AReformedFundamentalist
Puritan Board Freshman
I have searched the forum but haven't found anything (I might have missed it) which talks about this specific issue. I'm a layman who's been studying the Scriptures and Theology. I've started a YouTube channel where I mainly read books and articles which I believe are in line with confessional orthodox reformed Protestantism, hoping these recordings will help lead people to the truth. These books are all written by ordained ministers. I have refrained from almost all teaching because I don't know if I am allowed to do that. My question is; to what extent may or may not the layman teach the Word of God. People like C.S. Lewis come to mind who was a layman and seems to have taught. I wonder therefore if it is morally, biblically good to teach or write (give commentary) on the Holy Scriptures. I've also given thought to start doing street gospel outreach work (think of street preaching for example). Would this be something I could start doing whilst not being ordained? I've been struggling with this question for the past year or so now...
Thanks for your help in advance.
