Two ages - physical age & spiritual age
Timothy was to be an example in these 5 areas:
1) Speech - what's in your heart comes out your mouth
2) Conduct - how you see yourself determines how you conduct yourself
3) Love - if you love God you'll love people
4) Faith - tenacious holding on
5) Purity - the pure in heart see God!
I Timothy 4:12-16 (10/26/13)

1 Timothy is written by Paul to Timothy about the church and his involvement in leading. vs 1:4 - The church was to rebuke any teacher who led to speculations. Speculation vs Stewardship: A relationship with Christ is something we “steward.” vs 1:5 - The end goal for teaching is love, which springs from a: 1) Pure heart - no bad motives. 2) Good conscience - no secret sin. 3) Sincere faith - you want Jesus for Him and not just His stuff.

Jesus left the earth and gave us the Holy Spirit. He commissioned Paul to explain the mysteries of the gospel, which people did not understand without his teaching. Paul wrote first to cities, then to individuals. He wrote his longest letters to Timothy. Here is some of his encouragement: God "is" love. The ACT of love springs from something, like a river has a source - love does too Pure Heart - you're not in love with two gods (ex: Tori is the only one for me!) Clean Conscience - blameless, not sinless - cleansed from sin Sincere Faith - "Chutzpah" - they "hold on" relentlessly like Jacob did when he wrestled God

A humanist begins with two basic presuppositions: 1) Man is ultimately good. 2) Man is the center of all things. A Biblical Christian begins with two basic presuppositions: 1) Man is ultimately bad. 2) God is the center of all things. In this verse Paul reveals that's he's not a humanist. Many Christians in the church today are humanist and they don't even know it. They believe God exists to bless them - it's all about them. But we exist to bless God.
