Fulfill your ministry

For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. (2 Timothy 4:3-5 ESV)

There are numerous untruths propetiated in the church today.  People alter definitions, connotations, and context to accommodate their sin, rather than change a rebellious heart into a repentant heart.  Paul is telling Timothy of this very thing and instructs him to be true to his calling.  He reminds him to fulfill his ministry, which was preaching the gospel.  Let us also, be sober-minded, staying true to the gospel, sharing the good news of Christ, making disciples, raising up others who will in turn share the light of Christ with the next generation and generations to come.
