Conclusion:

Thank God for the men of God who will not only remain faithful in proclaiming truth, but also in defending the truth of God’s Word!

We need to continue praying for our pastor and all the other faithful men of God who preach the truth of the Word of God each week to their people and to the community in which they reside!

We, as the born again body of Christ, are responsible to God and to the world to support, defend, and preserve the truth of God’s Word in all that we do, for if God’s truth is not real in our lives personally, it will not be real in our church, nor will the world ever come to know the truth if we do not preserve, defend, and proclaim the truth!
