While Timothy was ministering in Ephesus, he met opposition from false teachers from within the church. Paul instructed Timothy to help his congregation fight against false teaching by avoiding unhealthy debate, handling God’s Word carefully, avoiding wordy speculation, and trusting God’s firm foundation. May we do our best to work hard in studying God’s Word that we may know God as He has revealed Himself in Scripture. Let us hold fast to right doctrine and not be swayed by false teachers, so we can effectively disciple others and point them closer to Jesus Christ.
Scripture: II Timothy 2:14-19
