1 Timothy 4

Good Morning “All Who Are Training for Godliness.”  Today we take a look at 1 Timothy 4

Timothy begins this chapter by hitting the false teaching that was rampant at that time.  He acknowledges where this false teaching is coming from.  

“The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.”
‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Sheds a different light on some of the things we see being propagated around our world today - doesn’t it?

“Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales; rather, train yourself to be godly. For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.

Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.”
‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭8‬, ‭12‬ ‭NIV‬‬

The Spirit of God living in us is our teacher.  Primed and ready to teach and train up.  The Word of God is our text book.  Spiritual maturity isn’t necessarily related to age.  Get trained up.  Then live it!  Set an example for all believers.

Love you all!  Dig in!
