A Prayer to Watch How We Live By Laura Bailey "Keep a close watch on how you live and on your teaching. Stay true to what is right for the sake of your own salvation and the salvation of those who hear you." - 1 Timothy 4:16, NLT  Have you ever heard the saying, "Do as I say, not as I do?" I always struggled to follow the suggestion, advice, or perhaps even command of a teacher or leader with that mindset. Those in authority shouldn't only talk the talk; they have the high responsibility and honor of walking the walk.  In Paul's letter to Timothy, he provides these words of wisdom: "Keep a close watch on how you live and on your teaching. Stay true to what is right for the sake of your own salvation and the salvation of those who hear you. (1 Timothy 4:16)." In the letter, Paul offered numerous warnings about false teachers, gave Timothy instructions on dealing with people in the church, and provided general advice. But, here we see that Paul called Timothy to hold himself to a standard of godliness, that no matter what is going around him, Timothy must pay close attention to how he lived out his faith. Why was this important then, and why is the way we live so important now? Because Timothy was responsible for teaching and leading the church, his actions could quickly draw or deter people from Christ.   CONTINUE READING →
