Arguably one of Scripture's most misinterpreted passages. 1 Timothy 2:8-15New Living Translation (NLT) In every place of worship, I want men to pray with holy hands lifted up to God, free from anger and controversy. And I want women to be modest in their appearance. They should wear decent and appropriate clothing and not draw attention to themselves by the way they fix their hair or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes. For women who claim to be devoted to God should make themselves...
What exactly are Elders supposed to do in a church? 1 Timothy 3:1-7 Leaders in the Church This is a trustworthy saying: “If someone aspires to be an elder,[a] he desires an honorable position.” So an elder must be a man whose life is above reproach. He must be faithful to his wife. He must exercise self-control, live wisely, and have a good reputation. He must enjoy having guests in his home, and he must be able to teach. He must not be a heavy drinker or be violent. He must be gentle, not...
A simple decision Paul made that would impact an entire region for God
From guest speaker Dennis Carlson
Practical, down-to-earth thoughts on church direction, straight from 1st Timothy. 1 Timothy 3:14-16 The Truths of Our Faith I am writing these things to you now, even though I hope to be with you soon, so that if I am delayed, you will know how people must conduct themselves in the household of God. This is the church of the living God, which is the pillar and foundation of the truth. Without question, this is the great mystery of our faith[a]: Christ was revealed in a human body and vindicated...
Practical, down-to-earth thoughts on church direction, straight from 1st Timothy. 1 Timothy 4:1-10 Warnings against False Teachers Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons. These people are hypocrites and liars, and their consciences are dead. They will say it is wrong to be married and wrong to eat certain foods. But God created those foods to be eaten with thanks...
Practical, down-to-earth thoughts on church widows, elders, and slaves, straight from 1st Timothy. 1 Timothy 5:1-16 Never speak harshly to an older man, but appeal to him respectfully as you would to your own father. Talk to younger men as you would to your own brothers. Treat older women as you would your mother, and treat younger women with all purity as you would your own sisters. Take care of any widow who has no one else to care for her. But if she has children or grandchildren, their...
Practical, down-to-earth thoughts on church leadership, straight from 1st Timothy. 1 Timothy 5:17-25 Elders who do their work well should be respected and paid well, especially those who work hard at both preaching and teaching. For the Scripture says, “You must not muzzle an ox to keep it from eating as it treads out the grain.” And in another place, “Those who work deserve their pay!" Do not listen to an accusation against an elder unless it is confirmed by two or three witnesses....
