Passage: 1 Timothy 4:6-16
It is hard to help someone else, if you are physically hindered. We must take care of our self so that we can care for others. Paul’s focus here is salvation which was Paul’s aim in this letter and God’s heart in this letter. On the road of salvation, we have enemies out to destroy us. Satan wants to destroy us. The world wants to distract us, and our flesh is prone to shipwreck if we are not careful.
To help us in our road of salvation, God has given us the church - the pillar and buttress of truth. The church displays and protects the gospel. Here, Paul addressed Timothy personally, but he also addressed the church. The health and soundness of the local church depends somewhat in the health and soundness of the pastors of a church.
