godless chatter & false knowledge pastor augie...pastor augie timothy, guard what has been...
TRANSCRIPT
“chatter” (with no basis in
truth or value) and
“godless” speech (either
opposes God, or speaks of
no God).
And what’s worse, this
godless chatter is “falsely
called knowledge.” It is
interesting that those who
we often regard as the
most learned and astute
can propose ideas that
oppose God’s Truth.
Further, those ideas –
often untested and
unproven – are then taken
to be knowledge. But we
could ask – what value is
knowledge if it is false?
The Apostle Paul explains
what the value of false
knowledge is: it causes
some to “depart from the
faith.”
You and I are urged by
Scripture to “turn away” from
theories and false knowledge
that are opposed to God,
because they are ultimately
useless chatter, which
opposes God and can cause
people to reject faith in God.
We pray: Lord – Please guard
our hearts and minds in Christ
Jesus, and give us a hunger
and thirst for your
Truth! Amen.

UPCOMING SERMON SERIES
In John's Gospel we see
a side of Christ that the
other Gospel writers do
not touch on. John was
part of that blessed inner
circle, that handful of
Disciples that was with
Christ during some of
His most intimate
moments. Each chapter
presents a new facet of
Jesus’ divine character —
5/12 The Word of God
5/19 The Son of Man
5/26 The Divine Teacher
6/2 The Great Soul Winner
6/9 The Great Physician
6/16 The Bread of Life
6/23 The Fountain of Living Water
6/30 The Sympathetic Savior
7/7 The Light of the World
7/14 The Good Shepherd Starting May 12th!
“a lighthouse to our community and the world”
GODLESS CHATTER & FALSE KNOWLEDGE Pastor Augie Timothy, guard what has
been entrusted to your
care. Turn away from
godless chatter and the
opposing ideas of what is
falsely called knowledge,
which some have professed
and in so doing have
departed from the faith.
(1 Timothy 6:20-21)
What has been entrusted to
Timothy’s care? … the Word
of God, and the Truth and
teaching therein. Has that
not also been entrusted to
us? What does it mean to
“care” for the Word of God?
The next sentence clarifies:
“turn away from godless
chatter.” When you think of
what is most opposite of the
Word of God, it would be

Some may think that Stewardship is
only about $$$ and budgets.
It is true Stewardship is about mon-
ey, but it’s about a whole lot more
than money. Stewardship has to do
with all stages of life and life’s re-
sources—“Christian Stewardship is
the free and joyous activity of the
Child of God and God’s family, the
church, in managing all of life and
life’s resources for God’s purposes.
Personal Stewardship is what we, do
with what we have. “What is that
good, and acceptable and perfect
will of God?” (Romans 12:2)
God’s desire for us (His family) is
simple, and yet more stretching and

George Ann Barnes will be hostessing

We play from twelve-thirty until four

There are forty points in the bridge
deck and since there are four
players the average hand will have
ten points. An average hand is not
worth very much, not even an
opening bid. There were no
average hands dealt at the home of

wants us to be wise managers and He
wants us to be generous givers, doing

for his indescribable gift.” (2 Corinthians

Summer Camp is Almost Here...
One day an exhausted mother of three children went to the Lord in prayer. God said, “Ask
whatever you wish and your prayers will be answered.”
“Oh Lord,” she said. “Please build me a bridge from here to Hawaii so I could drive there
anytime I wanted to relax.”
The Lord frowned. “I don’t know. That sounds like quite an undertaking. I mean, just think
of the logistics...The supports required to reach the bottom of the ocean, the concrete, the steel
to build a bridge that long. Why don’t you pick something else?”
The mother thought for awhile and then said, “Well, then I pray for the ability and energy to
do it all...take care of the children, be a wonderful wife, manage a career, stay on top of the
housework, and get to the gym three times a week.”
God was silent for a minute, then said, “So, how many lanes did you say you wanted on that
bridge?”
