The truth about false doctrine, on today's Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. Well, the book of First Timothy was written to a young clergyman in Ephesus who had been mentored by the Apostle Paul. Paul wanted to make it clear that the local church should be properly structured, with elders and deacons carefully chosen on the basis of spiritual maturity. But Paul also warned Timothy as to the dangers of false teaching, urging him to rightly disseminate the Word of God with a mixture of boldness and humility. Paul's instruction is as relevant today as it was two thousand years ago. And Ron shares Paul's wisdom with us next, as he continues his series, "The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The Pauline Epistles.”

A recent survey by Wired Research, asked one thousand parents of kids ages fourteen to eighteen if they thought their children were prepared to manage their finances in adulthood. The survey found that only eight percent of the parents surveyed believe their teenagers are “extremely prepared” to handle their finances in adulthood. What's interesting is that this is a ten percent drop from last year, when eighteen percent of the parents reported the same. This declining confidence reminds us that as Christian parents, we need to go out of our way to teach our kids biblical principles of good financial stewardship, to teach them about saving, to teach them about tithing, and to teach them to recognize and push back on the constant flow of marketing messages seducing them to spend, spend, and spend. First Timothy six ten tells us that “the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.”

Is it possible to be wealthy without being worldly? That's the question of the day here on a Daily Walk as we finish up First Timothy. The answer in short is yes!

September 16, 2025Today's Reading: 1 Timothy 1:5-11, 12-17Daily Lectionary: 2 Chronicles 35:1-7, 16-25; Zephaniah 1:1-3:20; Colossians 3:1-25“The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost. But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life. To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.” (1 Timothy 1:15-17)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Saint Paul knew about living a life of sin. Before he had been brought to Christ, the man who was once Saul persecuted and murdered Christians for a living. Without a doubt, he preached to people who knew of his past, and may have even known other Christians whom Saul had destroyed. The memory of his life before coming to Christ likely never left Paul. When Paul writes, referring to himself as the foremost of sinners, he means it. These words come from deep in his heart. But these words do not apply to Paul alone; they apply to us as well. While we may not have persecuted Christians or murdered, we have all strayed far from the Law of God. No sin is less damnable than another. Every offense we have ever committed, no matter how inconsequential they may often seem, condemns us. We deserve death and Hell for the sins that we have committed. Yet, Saint Paul finds great comfort and shares it with all of us: though we are all sinners of the worst regard, Christ has still won mercy for us. The Gift of redemption in Christ Jesus comes to us even in our undeserving state, each one of us being a chief sinner in our own right. Paul knew the true sweetness of the Gospel because he knew the true depths of his sin. Paul knew how severe his offenses against God were, but in receiving the promises and Gifts of our Lord, he also knew the lengths to which Christ's forgiveness and redemption extend. When we examine ourselves and know our sin, we do this not to beat ourselves up to earn God's favor, but to truly repent before God of all we have done against Him. When we recognize the depth of our sinfulness, we do not despair, but instead are driven back to Christ. When we receive God's mercy, we understand how beautiful a Gift is won for us in Christ's death and resurrection. These words from First Timothy help us to see the truth of our sinfulness, but the richness of the Gospel that we receive from our loving Savior. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Chief of sinners though I be, Jesus shed His blood for me. Died that I might live on high, lived that I might never die. As the branch is to the vine, I am His and He is mine. (LSB 611:1)Rev.

Pastor John Randall has an eye on First Timothy five and six today. His three point outline focuses on the protection of the pastor, the correction of the pastor and finally the selection of the pastor. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29

The pastor like a shepherd of sheep is called to feed, lead and protect the flock. It's a big job but should they be compensated for that? As we get back into First Timothy we open up chapter five - and broach the subject of providing for the pastor and church staff.

We pick up where we left off in First Timothy, today. So make your way over to chapter four if you would. Paul is describing for Timothy, what it takes to be an effective minister or servant of God. And John believes these are qualities that make for a good minister today! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29

Why is the church so important? We'll pursue the answer to that question as we open up First Timothy today on a Daily Walk. We have a message the world desperately needs to hear, and we're to uphold the truth! But we're told in the last days people in large numbers will depart from the truth of the gospel. Paul is about to warn Timothy about false doctrine, and it's something we need to hear today as well! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29

Today on a Daily Walk we get right back into our study of First Timothy. Recently we've been talking about leadership in the church, and today the focus is on the deacons, or those who serve in the church. They are to serve out of a motivation of love for the Lord, and have certain characteristics in their lives. The first we'll look at has to do with the consumption of alcohol.

How are you serving the Lord today friend? If you're struggling to come up with an answer, be encouraged that we all have a role to play in the church! Today on a Daily Walk we turn your attention to First Timothy three, which describes the role of Deacons in the church. And a Deacon really is a servant!

John Randall is midway through a study of First Timothy. Timothy was given the responsibility of selecting godly leadership in the church, but what should he look for? Paul gave him some help and listed 16 qualifications that should be a part of the pastor's life. And these are characteristics to be found in today's church leader too!

Many of us are leaders in some capacity… whether it's at home, at work or in the church! Today on a Daily Walk we're going to take notice of the qualifications that are to be met for leaders in the church. There are sixteen of them layed out for us in First Timothy three.

Today on a Daily Walk we open up First Timothy chapter two, and verses 8-15. In recent years there's been some discussion within church circles, as to whether or not a woman should be a pastor or teach over a mixed crowd. The passage we're about to look at makes it clear what the answer should be, and remember this is God's unchanging Word written for our benefit and good.

We're about to continue our study of First Timothy and today we come to what you might say is a hotly debated issue in the world and church today. But pastor John will stress that we should allow God's Word to guide us to what is right and acceptable, not the culture! In chapter two, Paul addresses the role, appearance and action of women in public worship. How should a women dress, and act in the church setting? Can they teach and preach from the pulpit? Well let's allow the Word to answer that for us! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29

How's your prayer life going these days? I think we'd all agree there's always room for improvement. And sometimes we need to refocus, as we've gotten off track! Today on a Daily Walk we'll take a look at what the focus of our prayers should be, as we get back into First Timothy. Pastor John Randall will also emphasize the person that makes prayer possible, as well as the posture of prayer. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29

Did you know, according to pollsters the average Christian in our country prays about three minutes a day. That's if they pray at mealtime and bedtime! As we continue to make our way through the book of First Timothy we'll be encouraged to raise the bar in our prayer life. We'll notice the priority of prayer as well as the types of prayers to be prayed. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29

Pastor John Randall is in the early stages of a study in First Timothy, and today on a Daily Walk we'll set our sights on the first chapter. You can bet that the enemy would like nothing more than to distract christians from what really matters, and get us sidetracked. Too often believers enter into foolish arguments, debates, and start to focus on things that don't matter in the light of eternity. Or they start to add or detract from the Gospel message. To do so, is dangerous. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29

Today on a Daily Walk we begin a new study of First Timothy. In the coming weeks the plan is to go through each verse in the epistle with you! Now God has a message for us to receive and deliver to others, but far too many get sidetracked and delve into things that have nothing to do with the Scriptures. It's a dangerous thing, and worth some time talking about so it doesn't happen to us. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29

First Timothy 3:1–2a issues a call for Christians and churches to pursue blamelessness—before God, before other Christians, and before the world—as a reflection of Christ's character, using the qualifications for church elders as a model for all believers. Every church member should pursue the Christlike character expected of leaders. When this happens corporately, the church becomes a powerful testimony that glorifies God and impacts the world.

How are you doing with your new year's resolutions?Every year many people resolve to exercise more and eat healthier.The Bible tells Christ-followers to take care of their bodies. “Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.” First Corinthians 3:16-17Along with our physical fitness, you also need to train our spiritual muscles. It takes work, but it's the most important exercise you can do.“Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.” First Timothy 4:8For more encouragement and parenting advice, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.

Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode—June 20th, 2025—we journey through Second Kings, chapters 4 and 5, Psalm 83, and First Timothy, chapter 2. Host Hunter guides us through powerful stories of miracles, faith, and God's provision. We'll hear about Elisha's compassion as he brings hope to a struggling widow, restores life to a grieving mother's child, purifies a poisoned meal, and heals the mighty Naaman of leprosy. As we reflect on these acts, we see vivid foreshadowings of Christ—the one true Mediator who brings life and reconciliation. Alongside these narratives, we explore prayers from Psalm 83 and mindful instructions from First Timothy on worship, prayer, and living a godly life. Join us as we open our hearts to what the Spirit is saying, seek God's presence in prayer, and are reminded—no matter where we are or what we face—that we are deeply loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: There is only one man who can make things right. The woman of Shunam knew this deep in her soul. In her hour of loss and grief, when her boy had died, she didn't want just anyone—she sought after the man of God. Gehazi, Elisha's servant, or anyone else simply wouldn't do. She believed, against all hope, that somehow this one man could bring her son back to life, could set things right that had gone terribly wrong. And Elisha did something unexpected. He went up to the lifeless boy, stretched himself out face to face, hand to hand, eye to eye over the child. It is as if Elisha was absorbing the death of the boy into himself so that the child could be restored to life. What a powerful image—a man of God bridging the gap between death and life. But this isn't just about one miracle centuries ago. It's a living picture pointing forward to another man who would come and absorb death—not just for one boy, but for the whole world. Jesus, the true Man of God, stepped into our story. He absorbed our sin, our sorrow, our death into himself upon the cross. He defeated death, and with tender care, draws us into his life—face to face, hand to hand, eye to eye. In him, we experience resurrection even now, the beginning of eternal life. Paul, in today's reading, reminds us: “For there is one God and one mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus. He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone.” Jesus stands alone as the One who can bridge the gap, the only One able to make things right between us and God. His resurrection life is offered to us. His victory over death is our hope, our foundation, our future. May God open our eyes to see that death has been defeated. May we recognize the One who stands before us, calling us into a resurrected life—today and always. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Almighty and ever loving God you have brought us to the light of a new morning. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit that we may walk this day in peace. Guard our steps from temptation. Shield us from the weight of fear and shame, and lead us deeper into the joy of your presence through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. O Christ, light of the nations, shine in every place where shadows dwell. Call the scattered home, heal the wounds of division and gather all people into the communion of your grace. May the knowledge of the Lord cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Amen. And our Lord, make my hands ready for mercy. Make my eyes quick to see the hurting, my ears open to the cry of the lonely, and my feet swift. To bring good news. Let me seek to bless, not to be noticed, to serve, not to be praised, to forgive, not to hold back. For in your way is life, in your mercy is healing, and in your love is the peace this world cannot give. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, join Hunter as we journey together through the Bible on this 19th day of June. We'll dive into the dramatic stories of Second Kings chapters 1-3, witness Elijah's fiery encounters and miraculous departure, and see Elisha step into his prophetic calling. We'll also spend time in Psalm 82, where God calls us to justice and compassion, and move into the New Testament with First Timothy chapter 1, where Paul reminds us not to miss the heart of the gospel—a life transformed by love, pure conscience, and genuine faith. Hunter shares encouraging reflections on letting God's Spirit shape us from the inside out, rather than getting lost in meaningless debates or empty rule-keeping. We'll close with heartfelt prayers for peace, gratitude, and strength for the day ahead. So grab your Bible, take a deep breath, and let's immerse ourselves in God's Word and presence together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Don't Miss the Point We are so prone to miss the point when we misapply the law. It can lead us into a life of pride and arrogance or self-loathing and despair. Engaging with the law in this way, as Hunter reminds us, can become a colossal exercise in missing the point. When we seek to justify ourselves by keeping the law or becoming experts in its letters, we actually miss the underlying message and purpose. That's exactly what Paul points out in his letter to Timothy—some people have veered from the simple truth, spending their days in meaningless discussions that add nothing to a life of faith (see 1 Timothy 1:6). They had turned away from the simple gospel, the good news that is received by faith and fills our hearts with love, cleanses our conscience, and makes us new. Paul reemphasizes this in verse 5: “The purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith.” This, Hunter says, is the real deal—this is the point. This is the work that God alone can do as his Spirit abides in his people. Through the Spirit's presence, God brings about a new heart, a clean conscience, and a new life. And we need to remember: that's a gift. It isn't something we can attain by mastering the law. True change comes not from our proficiency or expertise, but from the Master's presence in our lives. As we surrender, as we let the Master master us, God reclaims that which was lost. That's the power and the gift of the gospel, the very truth Paul is unashamed to proclaim. Living in the reality of Christ in you means you're not missing out on love, generosity, or peace—they are yours. And in receiving them, you'll have something beautiful to offer this world. That's a prayer Hunter has for his own soul, for his family, and for you: that we may not miss the point, but instead receive the love of God, a clean conscience, and a new life in Christ. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting Father, you have brought us in safety to this new day. Preserve us with your mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. O God, you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you and find you. Bring the nations into your fold. Pour out your spirit on all flesh and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. And now, Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy. O Lord, grant that I might not seek so much to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned. It is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.
