- Does Paul say, 'Spend your life trying to win unconverted religious people'? (verse 5). I seriously doubt it's worth spending our time on those who don't want to hear and try to stop gospel ministry, just so that we can win over an antiquated building and spend our life managing that.
- I printed out some stuff on the commentaries about Jannes and Jambres in the Jewish tradition. But then I remembered that Paul said 'Don't bother with Jewish myths' so I'm not going to read it to you.
- People in the church and paid ministry will cause you more damage than those outside the church.
- You can't train someone in ministry if you only see them for an hour a week in staff meeting.
