Teach the Sound Doctrine

2 Timothy 1:13
Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

Titus 2:1
But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine

2 Timothy 1:13
Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me,
in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

1 Timothy 4:16
Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

1 Timothy 1:3-4
As I urged you when I went into Macedonia—remain in Ephesus that you may charge some that they teach no other doctrine, nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly edification which is in faith.

Isaiah 41:13

“For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.”

Life crashes in and we wish we could be children again and have someone to take care of us and protect us. Into our confused and chaotic world, God's promise comes to us once again. Like a loving parent with a frightened child, God reaches out and takes hold of our hand and comforts us with his precious words: "Don't be afraid. I'm here with you. I will help." Even when he seems distant, the echo of this thought can remind us that we are never alone or forgotten (cf. Heb. 13:5-6).

Thoughts 

"It's a good thing to have all the props pulled out from under us occasionally. It gives us some sense of what is rock under our feet, and what is sand." - Madeleine L'Engle

"Jesus, like any good fisherman, first catches the fish; then He cleans them."
