In 2 Timothy 2:14, Paul begins to address the situation at the church in Ephesus more pointedly. False teaching was wreaking havoc on the church and people were suffering. In the face of such turmoil, Paul instructs Timothy to focus on the Truth and to distance themselves from those who engage in irreverent babble. As we prepare our hearts for Sunday, join with your church family in prayer.
