What does a healthy church look like? In 2 Timothy 2:14–19, we learn that one distinguishing mark is a minister committed to the Word of God. As Alistair Begg explains, pastors must ground their ministry in the Gospel while the people resist the temptation to quarrel over nonessentials. When this happens, God works through His Word, by His Spirit, in His people, and churches grow in maturity and godliness.
