00:00 - Start
00:00:24.260 --> 00:00:27.170
The First Epistle of Paul to Timothy, Chapter 4.
00:00:27.170 --> 00:00:33.031
The Holy Spirit clearly says that in the last days, some people will leave the faith.
00:00:33.031 --> 00:00:35.887
They will follow spirits that will fool them.
00:00:35.887 --> 00:00:38.768
They will believe things that demons will teach them.
00:00:38.768 --> 00:00:43.951
Teachings like those come from liars who pretend to be what they are not.
00:00:43.951 --> 00:00:47.750
Their sense of what is right and wrong has been destroyed.
00:00:47.750 --> 00:00:52.009
It's as though it has been burned with a hot iron.
00:00:52.009 --> 00:00:55.067
They do not allow people to get married.
00:00:55.067 --> 00:00:58.810
They order them not to eat certain foods.
00:00:58.810 --> 00:01:01.347
But God created those foods.
00:01:01.347 --> 00:01:06.781
So people who believe and know the truth should receive them and give thanks for them.
00:01:07.962 --> 00:01:09.686
Everything God created is good.
00:01:09.686 --> 00:01:12.012
You shouldn't turn anything down.
00:01:12.012 --> 00:01:14.662
Instead, you should thank God for it.
00:01:14.662 --> 00:01:18.052
The word of God and prayer make it holy.
00:01:18.052 --> 00:01:21.262
Point out these things to the brothers and sisters.
00:01:21.262 --> 00:01:23.867
Then you will serve Christ Jesus well.
00:01:23.867 --> 00:01:27.786
You will show that you've grown in the truths of the faith.
00:01:27.786 --> 00:01:32.602
You will show that you've been trained by the good teaching you've obeyed.
00:01:33.403 --> 00:01:36.769
Don't have anything to do with godless stories and silly tales.
00:01:36.769 --> 00:01:40.143
Instead, train yourself to be godly.
00:01:40.143 --> 00:01:45.834
Training the body has some value, but being godly has value in every way.
00:01:45.834 --> 00:01:51.412
It promises help for the life you are now living and the life to come.
00:01:51.412 --> 00:01:56.512
This is the truth you can trust and accept completely.
00:01:56.512 --> 00:01:59.388
This is why we work and try so hard.
00:01:59.388 --> 00:02:03.251
It's because we have put our hope in the living God.
00:02:03.251 --> 00:02:05.927
He is the Savior of all people.
00:02:05.927 --> 00:02:09.569
Most of all, he is the Savior of those who believe.
00:02:11.381 --> 00:02:12.787
Command and teach these things.
00:02:12.787 --> 00:02:16.289
Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young.
00:02:16.289 --> 00:02:20.911
Set an example for the believers in what you say and in how you live.
00:02:20.911 --> 00:02:26.235
Also, set an example in how you love and in what you believe.
00:02:26.235 --> 00:02:30.846
Show the believers how to be pure Until I come.
00:02:30.846 --> 00:02:34.514
Spend your time reading scripture out loud to one another.
00:02:34.514 --> 00:02:37.383
Spend your time preaching and teaching.
00:02:37.383 --> 00:02:41.834
Don't fail to use the gift the Holy Spirit gave you.
00:02:41.834 --> 00:02:45.548
He gave it to you through a prophecy from God.
00:02:45.548 --> 00:02:48.903
It was given when the elders placed their hands on you.
00:02:48.903 --> 00:02:51.709
Keep on doing these things.
00:02:51.709 --> 00:02:57.686
Give them your complete attention, then everyone will see how you are coming along.
00:02:57.686 --> 00:03:01.713
Be careful of how you live and what you believe.
00:03:01.713 --> 00:03:03.543
Never give up.
00:03:03.543 --> 00:03:07.552
Then you will save yourself and those who hear you.
