False teaching and false teachers will always threaten to destroy the church. Satan loves to distort the truth, and because of our sin and pride we are so prone to distorting the truth for the purpose of selfish gain. And therefore the threat of false teaching lurks in every church. It can happen in very blatant ways as churches explicitly deny the truths of the Gospel – denying the inspiration of the Scriptures, denying the resurrection of Christ, denying that Jesus is our only hope of salvation. Or it can happen in very subtle ways when leaders find themselves not denying the Gospel but ignoring it. And they ignore it because they have found other things that seem more interesting and captivating. In Paul's instructions to his young friend Timothy, he exhorts him to confront the false teaching that was present in the Ephesian church. The passage we're going to study this morning is the beginning of the body of this first letter that Paul wrote to Timothy, and the issue he deals with right away is false teaching.
