WITHDRAW YOURSELF 3

DAILY GRACE WEDS.20TH SEPT. 2017 WITHDRAW YOURSELF 3 1 TIMOTHY 6: 5 "Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself." As you wisely watch and withdraw your attention from men of corrupt minds, who are destitute of the truth. Let's keep these in mind as we draw the conclusion on this exposition; 1.) The words of our Lord Jesus Christ are wholesome words, they are the fittest to prevent or heal the church’s wounds, as well as to heal a wounded conscience (Isa. 50:4). The words of Christ are the best to prevent ruptures in the church, for none who professes faith in Him will dispute the aptness or authority of His words who is their Lord and teacher, and it has never gone well with the church since the words of men have claimed a regard equal to His words, and in some cases a much greater. 2.) Whoever teaches otherwise, and does not consent to these wholesome words, he is proud, knowing nothing; for pride and ignorance commonly go together. 3.) The sad effects of doting about questions comes envy, strife, evil surmisings, and perverse disputings. When men leave the wholesome words of our Lord Jesus Christ, they will never agree in other words, either of their own or other men’s invention, but will perpetually wrangle and quarrel about them; and this will produce envy, when they see the words of others preferred to those they have adopted for their own; and this will be attended with jealousies and suspicions of one another, called here evil surmisings and then they will proceed to perverse disputings. 4.) Perverse disputings are given to the men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth; especially such as act in this manner for the sake of gain, which is all their godliness, supposing gain to be godliness, contrary to the apostle’s judgment, who reckoned godliness as great gain. 5.) Good ministers and Christians will withdraw themselves from such men. “Come out from among them, my people, and be ye separate,” says the Lord: from such withdraw yourself. Beloved, the reason why men’s minds are corrupt is because they do not stick to the truth as it is in Christ Jesus. Thus, stick to the truth often and withdraw from falsehood. Enjoy your day! Personal Confession: Father, grant me submissive heart to the truth and withdraw me from men of corrupt minds in Jesus' name.
