Watch Your Doctrine and Training
Timothy, the apostle Paul's protégé, was not only to be alert to the dangers that lay before the people under his care; he was also to make sure that they understood God's truth. Alistair Begg unpacks Paul's instructions in 1 Timothy 4:6–10, which focus on the importance of ministering well, being nourished in the faith, training for godliness, and, ultimately, placing hope in "the Savior of all people."

Watch Your Surroundings
In the concluding verse of 1 Timothy 4, Paul instructs Timothy, "Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers." What did he mean by these words? Alistair Begg begins an examination of the answer by looking at the chapter's opening verses, which outline the apostacy Paul warned about, how it would happen, by whom it would happen, and what its teaching would involve.
