1 Timothy 1:3-7
Command Certain Men not To...
1. Teach false doctrine (wrong view of law, asceticism, wealth gospel)
2. Devote themselves to myths (angel myths, apocryphal literature, pseudigraphical)
3. Devote themselves to endless genealogies (Did Herod destroy records? Focus on genetics)
These things...
1. Promote controversies
2. Put ministry on the back burner
3. Are less likely 'by faith'
4. Devolve into meaningless talk
5. Produce wrongful pride and ambition
But the goal of commanding these men to stop is a restoration of LOVE
We must confront in LOVE
We must have a goal of restored LOVE
1. A pure heart
2. A good conscience
3. A sincere faith
These 3 prevent the confronter from turning into the enemy
