Pastoral Epistles: 1 Timothy 4:13 - The Importance of the Teaching

Didaskalia (teaching) is found fifteen times in the three pastoral letters of Paul. As you might expect, it involves the systematic explanation of Scripture. This can be done one on one, in small groups, or with the entire congregation. In short, the effective pastor is involved continually in disseminating the truth of Scripture to his people. He does so by many different means.
