Shipwrecks and Rescue Missions

The apostle Paul reminds Timothy of his calling in Ephesus, to charge certain persons not to teach a different doctrine. His work is built upon his faith and conscience, which some have rejected and shipwrecked their faith. This scripture encourages and teaches us that the gospel itself causes shipwrecks, that shipwrecks can happen to our faith also, that teachers of false gospels are popular, that prodigals do get rescued, and that the good fight is Spirit work. (1 Timothy 1.18-20) January 29, 2023
