Conquering Our Mountains

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 17, 2022

King David said in Psalm 23:4, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, ...read more

Timothy was not technically a pastor; he was actually Paul’s “delegate.” Nonetheless, he approximated the pastoral role in that he was a shepherd. Timothy faced a number of challenges, as do modern pastors who are serious about the Word. Let’s look at a few of them.
