1 Timothy 1
3 As I urged you when I went into Macedonia—remain in Ephesus that you may charge some that they teach no other doctrine, 4 nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly edification which is in faith. 5 Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith, 6 from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to idle talk, 7 desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm.
REMAIN
By: Eloisha Elcarte
...
Remain
For the truth has run away
Both from the movement of their lips
And from the message of their hearts
Let his Word abide
And never sway,
In the streams of false doctrine
As a rock in the river
That stands amidst the world’s strong current
Remain
For God is moving
His hands to grip all the faith loosening
His feet to stomp all the lies whispering
His arms to embrace all the hearts breaking
Stand still
And stay upfront
For some of the soldiers cease the fire
And some have lost the fight
Remain
In the God who moves the mountains;
in the God who makes bread the once were rocks;
Never walk away from His powerful, perfect will
God will sustain
His work to remain
Though the world pulls it down
Set your palms ready
For God to push it more up!
