1Ti 3:15 | MHM | STEP | Paul calls the church the pillar and ground of the truth . This means the church is responsible for holding up and sharing God’s truth, just as a pillar supports a building. The church does not create truth but proclaims and protects it. Ministers, like Timothy, must faithfully teach and preserve the truth of the gospel (Ephesians 3:10; Galatians 2:9 ).
