We live in a society swimming in self-sufficiency, and yet is sinking.

And because the church can too easily imbibe culture from the world, we end up swimming in self-sufficiency too… and drowning.

So, we need 1st Timothy 2:1-7 - where we need to be, and we can be, reliant in prayer.

The Lord knows that His servants grow weary.

He knows Christians become discouraged.

He knows churches face pressures from false teaching, compromise, temptation, and fear.

And so here we have this encouragement - wage the good warfare, by holding faith in Jesus.

The Lord knows that His servants grow weary. He knows Christians become discouraged. He knows churches face pressures from false teaching, compromise, temptation, and fear. And so this passage is both a warning and an encouragement - wage the good warfare, by holding faith in Jesus.

The Christian life is not a playground. It is a battlefield.

That is not the kind of thing modern people naturally like to hear, and as someone who has struggles and sins in the area of conflict avoidance – this is something I don’t want to face at times.

I prefer, we prefer, comfort to conflict.

We may look for the exit to ease, rather than stay with endurance.

We are tempted to seek for worldly safety rather than suit up for spiritual struggle.

Yet the apostle Paul describes the ministry of Timothy, and by extension the Christian life itself, as warfare.

Not worldly warfare with swords and violence, but spiritual warfare - and this Sunday’s passage from 1 Timothy 1:18-20 comes to us with remarkable pastoral tenderness.

Christianity begins with confession. Not merely confession of individual sins, but confession of what we truly are apart from grace.

Our biblical pursuit is to have healthy doctrine and so we need to teach the law, lawfully. This is all for the love of our hearts’ affections to be for Christ himself.

When it comes to doctrine, when it comes to the truth about God, salvation, Christ, and the Christian life — we don’t do different doctrine.

One day, every believer—single or married—�will stand together as the bride of Christ. And on that day, we will see clearly that Christ was always enough.

Because one day, every believer—single or married—
will stand together as the bride of Christ. And on that day, we will see clearly that Christ was always enough.
