Have you thought much about why the ability to effectively proclaim God’s Word is so important for pastors？ Look at it this way. If I asked you, “What was the preeminent problem for churches in the New Testament？” how would you respond？ Was it lax morality？ How about spiritual dullness？ Too little evangelistic zeal？ How about an anemic impact on the culture around them？ The answer may surprise us. It’s something we don’t often talk about today. I’m talking about false teachers and false doctrine.
