Sharper Iron From Kfuo Radio

Rev. Clint Poppe, pastor at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Lincoln, NE, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study 1 Timothy 5:17-6:2. Paul gives further instructions concerning the lives of Christians within their various God-given vocations. Certainly all those who are older ought to be treated with special honor, but Paul also commands double honor for those who serve as elders, that is, pastors, within the Christian congregation. Not only should they be treated with respect because of the office of preaching and teaching they bear, but they also should be supported physically by those who hear and learn. Any pastor who persists in false teaching or sinful living must be rebuked, as must any Christian, in order to bring about repentance. Such purity comes not from what is or isn’t consumed, but rather from the good news about Jesus, which Timothy is charged to preach. “The Word is Trustworthy” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that goes through the three pastoral epistles: 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, and Titus.
