What is the Fuel in my Engine?

We’re wandering with no direction, with others, and the one with the map throws it aside as we’re walking towards evil.

1 Timothy

-Paul is writing about the false teachers to Timothy

-Paul’s purpose: Hey Timothy! You gotta stay focused on what’s important, or you’ll be pulled in all directions!

1 Timothy 1:3

"As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain men not to teach false doctrines any longer."

-In the Bible, teachers are the model towards others, by exemplifying their lives and actions

PAUL’S INSTRUCTIONS:

      1. Don’t teach false doctrine any longer
      2. Don’t devote yourself to something that isn’t important
      3. Be devoted to Jesus!

-instead of deciding what to or not to do, what’s right and not right, just follow Jesus and He will NOT lead you astray

-goal of these instructions is love; what’s "right" will follow

Disciple: a learner

Christian: Christ-like

Thank heavens the Bible describes us as disciples most of the time!

"Any Longer": means even the false teachers have hope and grace with Jesus

GRAB THE REAL JESUS!
