Guarding Against Mission Drift
Paul urged Timothy to stay anchored in love, purity, and sincere faith while calling out false teaching. Prayer—especially for all people and all leaders—is what keeps our hearts centered on God’s mission instead of empty discussions and cultural distractions.

Division often grows because no one is willing to address it. Paul calls believers to examine our own hearts first, then lovingly help others find reconciliation. When restoration replaces resentment, the body of Christ becomes stronger and more effective.
