1 Timothy 3:4 - 4:5

In this zoom Bible study Mr. Smith continues in 1 Timothy covering two subjects. The ending verses of chapter 3 cover ordinations and Paul shows that a major factor in choosing a man for an office is how well he leads his family. In chapter 4 Paul addresses some of the false doctrines that will come into the church at the time of the end that were already being seen at that time.
