–31); and now they had arrived.  He warns Timothy about some of the traits of the false teachers. In every generation, there will be Christians who fall away from the faith. In the leader’s ministry and life, God’s Word and its application must be central. Being a faithful follower of Jesus requires intentionality and discipline. Nothing proves the veracity of the gospel as well as evidence of its life-changing power. Our lives are to setan example for others in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.  Quotable: The soundness of a church depends on ministers and leaders who are sound in their faith and practice.  Application: When facing false teaching, we must first expose the errors we oppose. Second, we must also develop personal holiness to assure that we continue in integrity. Some false teaching is best ignored rather than discussed.  Instead of entertaining dialog on the matter, the better course of action is to teach the truth. Just as we discipline our bodies for physical activity, we must discipline our minds to engage in spiritual activities. When God calls us into His work, He equips us for the task.  Connect with us: Web site:  https://springbaptist.org Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/SBCKleinCampus (Klein Campus) https://www.facebook.com/SpringBaptist (Spring Campus) Need us to pray for you?  Submit your prayer request to https://springbaptist.org/prayer/  If you haven’t already done so, please leave us a rating and review in your podcast provider.
