Part 5: Gentle Guardians

For the next year Alexander Ovechkin will hold the title of owning the NHL’s hardest shot as he broke the 100-mph barrier last week in the All Star hardest shot competition. I can put on a number 8 Jersey and buy the same stick, but I can’t shoot with that power. We could all dress up like were in the NHL but not be the real deal. That’s also the case in the church. We can put on church clothes, and talk church talk, and go to church but still not have the power of God at work in us. This was happening in Timothy’s church and he was being charged to fight for truth, but not like a fighter. As we take the torch, we also need to live as gentile guardians against the creep of fake people and false doctrines.
