"Religions are man's search for God; the gospel is God's search for man. There are many religions, but one gospel." -E. Stanley Jones
2 Timothy 4:2 "Preach the word! Be ready in season & out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering & teaching."
I am doing a study on Timothy- "that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will" (2 Timothy 2:26) and "Do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry" (2 Timothy 4:5).
Part 1-
Paul urges Timothy to stay where he was in Ephesus. The work of the will of God is not easy but the finished work was not yet complete (1:3).
The Lord has us where He needs us. Like a good Soldier, he does not dare to abandon his assignment place. He has an order. Consider Paul's reason he gave to Timothy.
Paul's warning to the Ephesians (Acts 20:28-30), was predicted. False teacher's were in the Church.
Our Pastor's job is to warn us (as Paul did), & teach us the TRUTH!
