1 Timothy 1: 10-17
Paul continued to stress to Timothy the importance of standing firm on sound doctrine. Some were compromising the truth for their own gain. Paul listed 3 responsibilities of a pastor and his people.
Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. ~ Psalm 100:1-3
