Pastoral Epistles: 1 Timothy 4:6-7 - Worldly Fables

The guarding of the Christian mind is a crucial part of sanctification. We must cultivate our minds on the things of Scripture and not clutter them with that which fights against the Scripture we study. The pastor is to have a mind saturated with the Word. There is no place for foolish, silly myths that are in reality the doctrines of demons. The godly minister maintains his conviction and his clarity of mind by exposing himself constantly to the Word of God, not to demonic lies that assault the Bible. Under the guise of advanced theological education and academic arrogance, many a man’s love of the truth has been destroyed and his mind hopelessly muddled. May we all pour God’s Word into our minds and avoid foolish, demonic myths.
