     | 232 views

    Paul repeated his caution against false teachers. They teach the wrong doctrine, driven by wrong motivation, produce the wrong conduct and seek gain from their belief.

    1 Timothy 6:3-5 The Truth Matters RECAP: Paul has been talking about relating to different groups in the church (5:1-6:2). o Treating older men as fathers, older women as mothers, younger men as brothers, and women as sisters. o Caring for the widows properly. ...read more

     | 298 views

    The Apostle Paul uses irony to engage the Corinthians’ attention, sarcasm to sting their heart and emotions, and satire to convince the Corinthians that false teachers have been misleading them and they are believing so-called truth about the Gospel that is not true at all.

    Beware Of Ravenous Wolves Series

     | 3,305 views

    Things are not always as they seem; and Jesus shares what to look for in identifying false prophets. These are false teachers, ravenous wolves, who seek to feed and save themselves, rather than feed and protect the flock.

    Allow me to begin with an illustration: As Little Red Riding Hood is heading to her grandmother’s house; a wolf comes along and finds out where she lives. He travels ahead, enters the house, and eats the grandmother! When Little Red Riding Hood arrives, she notices her grandmother’s unusual ...read more
