Christianity has developed a "church culture" in which everyone expects one person to stand before the congregation and teach them everything. The rest of us are just supposed to sit in the pews and be "fed".
Romans 15:14 shows that this isn't what God intended. Certainly God has specially commissioned some people to be Teachers, but we are all supposed to be learning and becoming teachers of one another. Nobody has a monopoly on all knowledge.
We all know some things better than the people around us, and we should be willing to teach when the need and opportunity arises.

i see our teaching of each other as the impetus for us to study whatever relevant scriptures ourselves, we 'point' each other, so to say, and then when we read the scripture ourselves, it is the Spirit who does the actual speaking. woe to us if we say 'jay said, therefore', or 'henk said, therefore'. but if we say 'he pointed me to see for myself', now we're talking, even if we're not aware who the Teacher really is...
and each of us is an expert in that area that most concerns us, because that's where we place our focus and effort.
good points, jay, i'd like to be taught by you.
