@paulvmenz.bsky.social@paulvmenz.bsky.socialPaul counsels Timothy to shepherd the congregation at Ephesus, and to “charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine.” For such people distract from the Gospel through “myths” and “genealogies”... -Rev. Larry Beane #Lutheran #LCMS revlarrybeane.substack.com/p/todays-dev...
@paulvmenz.bsky.socialPaul closes his letter with a recognition that though we are all united into “one body,” we are “individually members” (Rom 12:5) with different struggles in life… –Rev Larry Beane #Lutheran revlarrybeane.substack.com/p/todays-dev...
@paulvmenz.bsky.socialPaul uses the imagery of changing clothing. We “put off” our clothing when it is dirty, and we “put on” new clothing that is clean. This is a daily cycle of life in this world... -Rev. Larry Beane #Lutheran #LCMS revlarrybeane.substack.com/p/todays-dev...

@paulvmenz.bsky.socialAnd so, we Christians do not dwell on our past, but like a runner in a race, we are “straining forward to what lies ahead, [we] press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” -Rev.
