Truth Tuesday - 1 Timothy 1:3-4

1 Timothy 1:3
As I urged you when I went into Macedonia- remain in Ephesus that you may charge some that they teach no other doctrine,

 He tells Timothy to instruct them to not go off on fairy tales or all the "begots" that make people mad and cause debates... this does no good to the building of the faith (God's work isn't being advanced).
