Aim: To persist in Spirit-filled Biblical orthodoxy.
Doctrine: God's answer to heresy is a doggedly faithful ministry that does not seek to appease error, but which uses the opportunity to teach the truth.
Exegesis: Three features of the faithful minister's work: he must confront perverse desires (v. 3); he must wrest souls from foolish myths (v. 4); he must fully honor the great Christ he serves (v. 5).
Further application: How to remain doctrinally faithful to Christ: recognize the deceitfulness of your heart, and determine to live by a different (and better) Church standard (than others live by).
Key verse: v. 5 ''But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.''
