How can we have clarity in teaching? There is the audience. There is the message, possibly being preached. There is clarity in the mind and or on behalf of the teacher. And there is clarity in what is being communicated or heard and possibly received. Not everyone accepts every thing. From a good teacher we ought to. Use discernment even then if possible or necessary. As for the word that has been heard that can be received (accepted) as well, not just received in the sense of hearing and automatically accepting it or becoming obedient without any thought.

James 1:21 NKJV - Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
There is clarity about what you are going to teach or about your subject matter.
