Some people in Ephesus were getting into some crazy stuff, including myths and endless genealogies.
Timothy’s responsibility was to warn them of the dangers of getting off course. Let’s keep it simple because God loves us to such a degree it should stimulate us to love others. It is a commandment. When this is not happening, check the information fueling your life.
1 Timothy 1:5
The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.
Love
It is silence — when your words would hurt.
It is patience — when your neighbor’s curt.
It is deafness — when a scandal flows.
It is thoughtfulness — for others’ woes.
It is promptness — when stern duty calls.
It is courage — when misfortune falls
