INTRODUCTION: THANK EDWIN FOR TEACHING LAST WEEK. WHEN I WAS PREACHING LAST WEEK I ACCIDENTALLY SAID AT LEAST ONE WRONG WORD. I THINK YOU ALL REALIZED IT BECAUSE OF THE CONTEXT, BUT JUST IN CASE YOU WERE DOZING RIGHT UP UNTIL THE CRITICAL PART, AND THEN SUDDENLY AWOKE AND SAID, “WHAT IS THAT GUY TALKING ABOUT…?” I MEANT TO SAY THAT MARGIE AND I HAD AS OUR GOAL TO BRING CIVILIZATION AND SALVATION TO OUR CHILDREN. UNFORTUNATELY, I SAID BRING CIVILIZATION AND SALVATION TO THE CHURCH. NO, I NEVER THOUGHT IT WAS MY GOAL TO BRING CIVILIZATION TO THE CHURCH!
INTRODUCTION: YOU REMEMBER THAT WE ARE STUDYING THE BOOK OF 1 TIM. SO FAR WE HAVE LEARNED THAT PAUL WROTE TO YOUNG TIM TELLING HIM THAT HE WANTS HIM TO STAY AT THE EPHESUS CHURCH AND RIDE HERD ON THIS GROUP THAT ARE TEACHING FALSE DOCTRINE. ALTHOUGH WE DO NOT KNOW THE NATURE OF THE FALSE DOCTRINE, WE LEARNED THE RESULTS OF FALSE TEACHING.
INTRODUCTION: HAVE YOU WORRIED ABOUT WHAT KIND OF OBLIGATION YOU HAVE TO THE POOR? THE PLIGHT OF THE HOMELESS IS A HOT TOPIC THESE DAYS. YOU READ ALL SORTS OF ARTICLES ABOUT THEM IN THE WASHINGTON POST AND OTHER PUBLICATIONS. IN LINE WITH THE POST THE WIFE OF THE EDITOR OF THE REVIEW CAME TO TALK TO US A LITTLE MORE THAN A YEAR AGO. MY RECOLLECTION IS THAT SHE WAS SUGGESTING THAT WE TROT DOWN TO DC AND HELP THE HOMELESS THAT I AM SURE THAT YOU HAVE ALL SEEN IN DC. WHEN I SUGGESTED THAT BEFORE WE ALL RUSHED DOWN TO DC SHE MIGHT CONSIDER PAUL’S WRITINGS THAT WE ARE STUDYING TODAY, SHE ESSENTIALLY ASKED ME WHAT KIND OF NEANDERTHAL I WAS. BECAUSE I TRAVEL QUITE A BIT IT IS FAIRLY COMMON THAT SOMEONE WILL ASK ME FOR MONEY. IT REALLY BOTHERS ME WHETHER I SHOULD GIVE MONEY, SO SOMETIMES I DO AND SOMETIMES I DON’T. SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO TRAVEL WITH ME WERE KIDDING ME NOT TOO LONG AGO THAT I GAVE MONEY TO THE PANHANDLER WHO SAID, “GOD BLESS YOU” AND DIDN’T TO THOSE THAT DID NOT SAY THOSE “MAGIC WORDS.” THIS WEEK WE LOOK AT PAUL’S ADIVCE TO TIMOTHY ON HOW WE SHOULD TREAT OTHERS IN THE CHURCH AND I WANT TO ESPECIALLY LOOK HOW PAUL SAYS THE CHURCH SHOULD DEAL WITH THOSE IN NEED.
INTRODUCTION: THIS WEEK WE ARE STUDYING THE SECOND HALF OF 1 TIM CHPT5. IN THIS PART OF THE BOOK PAUL GIVES TIM SEVERAL RECOMMENDATIONS ON DEALINGWITH CHURCH LEADERS. LETS GET INTO IT.
INTRODUCTION: THIS WEEK WE LOOK AT THE 6TH AND LAST CHPT OF 1 TIM. LETS GET INTO IT.
