| However, in bring this topic up, I'm not insisting that every male must teach. For example, some men may recognize the fact that they can not teach in a way that they feel will be edifying to the church. On the other hand, they have some other gift that could be used to the edification of the church. Perhaps they are not a very good speaker or teacher; however, they may be throughly familiar with the Scripture. So, after a teaching, they may edify the church by bringing up passages of Scripture that agree or disagree with a brother's teaching.
