The Summary
I mentioned yesterday that out Thursday morning Bible study was summarizing 1st and 2nd Timothy. There are several threads that run through both books.
The Problem
Presence and increasing frequency of false teaching. As we move further from source events, people, and documents, it is easy to get the message blurred.
The Solution
We then asked ourselves is how many churches and organizations are doing this.
