There are many who might agree with all that has been said here, but who nevertheless do not understand the need and the urgency for true Biblical understanding and true preaching today.
It is easy to understand, however, in a church world that is bored with the Bible, downplays doctrine, and puts down preaching, that we can get very discouraged very quickly.
It was the same in Timothy’s day, and that is why Paul is writing him. Remember that Paul was telling Timothy what he should focus on and why.
If you see the outline of what Paul is saying through both 1 and 2 Timothy, it becomes apparent that Timothy was having a hard time and that he seemed to want to give it up.
We think we aren’t Timothy, but he could get just as discouraged as we get.
When we are tempted to give in, and try the new fads and frauds of the so called church today, when we aren’t seeing as much supposed fruit as the other guy who is doing other things, we need to stay with the Scriptures. When we are tempted to give up, we need to remember what Paul told Timothy. The Bible is enough, so preach it, and believe it. We have the ultimate tool but if we don’t use it rightly we can become the ultimate fool.
