Pastoral work can bring many joys, especially for faithful ministers who have served for decades. Yet as preaching professor and Basics guest speaker Hershael York considers, in his second epistle to Timothy, the apostle Paul spoke of this calling very seriously. Paul reminds us that while people will become arrogant and greedy in the last days, faithful Gospel ministers must preach the Word forever settled in the heavens. This will cost pastors much in the world—but they will grow to become more like Jesus in the process.
