“There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.” Proverbs 16:25
These are the things you are to teach and insist on. 3 If anyone teaches otherwise and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, 4 they are conceited and understand nothing. They have an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions 5 and constant friction
between people of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.”
Three Realities of Truth
Reality Number One: Truth is found in Scripture.
- Vs 3b.” And sound instruction is always based on Jesus, and it always produces godly teaching
Reality Number Two: Truth unites a church.
- Vs 3a: “If anyone teaches otherwise and does not agree to the sound instruction f our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, they are conceited.
- Proverbs 29:25, “The fear of human opinion disables; trusting in God protects you from that.”
Reality Number Three: Truth Glorifies God
- The goal of any ministry or minister should be to spread the truth and to glorify God. And the goal of every Christian should be to properly steward whatever it is that God entrusts to you and to have pure motives as you serve Him. Whether that’s as a volunteer, whether that’s as a full-time ministry person—whatever it might be.
“Now to him who is able to do
immeasurably more than all we
ask or imagine, according to his
power that is at work within us,
to him be glory in the church and
in Christ Jesus throughout all
generations, for ever and ever!” Ephesians 3:20
