    ‘Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all’. But is the same statement true when it is applied to our relationship with God? Is the same statement true when it is applied to our relationship with our fellow believers?

    Real Change Series

     | 12,185 views

    If we were doomed to live the same life over and over again for eternity, would we choose the life we are living now? If not, then how can we make real change? We do it when we submit to God’s discipline. Then with Christ’s help, admit and quit our sin.

    Paul charged Timothy to preach the word of God as knowledge of it is vital to overcoming a hostile environment(3:15-17). Pastors must prioritize the faithful preaching of God’s revealed word but why? 5 incentives prioritizing the preaching of God’s word.
