I enjoyed the discussion with a group of friends. I am thinking through the question- Who is qualified to make disciples? Can everyone be a disciplemaker.
The word preach in Mark 3 seems to mislead us. In this town, the preacher is the one who stands in front of the church on Sunday morning. He should have a degree or two. He is more impressive if he uses words from Greek or Hebrew, which no one in the audience would know.
But everyone can do this. The word preach in this verse is more like proclaim, publish or talk about it. When we read the Bible and learn something that we know is from God, we should tell somebody.
I think mostly they would tell people who Jesus is and what he can do for you.
It is not the super smart, religious or even the super righteous. Anyone that is getting to know God can tell people what they are learning.
Even me.
