1 Timothy 6:3-5
[3] If anyone teaches otherwise and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, [4] they are conceited and understand nothing. They have an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions [5] and constant friction between people of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.
Without looking, so you have any idea the context of the passage above? Don’t look, write your answer down first. Now look. This should demonstrate the fact that by definition, disputes and disputable matters will always seem trivial to some and not at all trivial to others.
And so, we are engaging the very relevant issue of disputes and disputable matters.
Below is a sample list of some of the assorted topics we plan to continue tackling in our ongoing asynchronous and weekly discussion groups.
Last week we began to touch on sanctification which we are continuing to discuss and of course apply because this is a life long application.
This week, we are continuing to build on that and also introducing the principle of handling disputable matters as well.
More on all these things.
Here is a sampling and small glimpse of the boldly engaged, genuinely caring & active listening nature of these discussions.
