1 Timothy 1

 3 As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain people not to teach false doctrines any longer 4 or to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. Such things promote controversial speculations rather than advancing God’s work—which is by faith. 5 The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. 6 Some have departed from these and have turned to meaningless talk. 7 They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm.

It's so common for parents to claim coaches show favoritism. Coaches play little Johnny because his last name is ___________! (you fill in the blank) they might say coaches or teachers show favorites. You know what? Coaches do show favorites. Their favorites are the players who give 100%. They show favorites to those kids who work hard, listen to what the coach says and does it. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT? God shows favorites too! God loves those who humble themselves, submitting to his teaching.

With the Lord it's not who you know or what family you were born into that matters. It's not who you know, but what you know that's important. That's why you have to continually study God's word and pray without ceasing. If you don't, you'll end up just like the people of this passage. Your wisdom is developed through faith, a pure heart, and a good conscience. How can you speak of Gods work if you do not really know him? Why would people accept your witness without love. Do you want to be a teacher of Gods law or a teacher of false doctrine. If you have departed from God's ways and turned to meaningless talk, you need to change. Open your heart to the creator and he will grant you the wisdom of the ages. Then sharing will be a complete joy. Stop ACTING like you know it all and come to the one who holds all the wisdom.
