We may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus

Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

From: Colossians 1:28

Inspiration

Ministers of the Word, pastors and missionaries in our churches, are duty-bound to preach Christ in such manner as to labor "till Christ be formed in" their hearers. (Galatians 4:19) For Christlikeness is the ultimate rule of maturity and, in the next life, of perfection. God uses Biblical teaching and Bible-based warnings delivered by men of God in the pulpit and classroom and elsewhere to accomplish this.

Prayer

Help us to appreciate those who minister the Word to us, Lord, and to submit to the Word instead of opposing it, which amounts to "opposing ourselves" (2 Timothy 2:25). Help us to discern between true and false teaching and teachers and to respond in faith and obedience to all genuine Biblical teaching.
