"The Only Reason...is to Change the World"

Nick Morgan points out that the only reason to give a speech is to change the world. The measure of a good presentation is the change of behavior that it creates.

Let's translate that to Bible teaching. Yes, we must inform people, give them basic knowledge. But the measure of effective Bible teaching is changed behavior, changed lives.

Here's your "change the world" acid test (credits to Nick Morgan):

1. Did I give them motivation to do something?
2. Did I give them clear action items?
3. Did I make their new behavior easy to adopt?
