Scary Scripture Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 29, 2022

Paul warned Timothy to keep a close watch on his life and on THE TEACHING because "in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you." Why is what we teach so critical to the salvation of ourselves and our listeners?
