how little you have to know.. 1Cor 2:1-5



1cor2:1-5 "And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God."
You don't have to have all the fancy words, you just have to know what Christ has done for you.
Back a chapter, it says "But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the mighty" (1cor1:27)
The less you are, the more God can do with you... If you only let Him be your portion, and make you able.

Not knowing all the fancy words is an excuse provided by the devil himself to keep the Word of God from spreading abroad. God's Word is simple. His way is simple... not usually easy, but simple.
I challenge you to read the first two chapters of 1Corinthians, take it to heart that you don't have to know it all to spread the Word.
