The Puritans were a group of such ministers whose teaching and living can be particularly encouraging to troubled and discouraged pastors today. They were steadfast in adhering to Scripture as the Word of God, in confessing the great truths of the Reformed faith, and in applying sound doctrine to the problems of life in an age and culture nearly as challenging as our own. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In \u003ci\u003e Encouragement for Today's Pastors\u003c\/i\u003e, Joel R.
