I've seen this happen with the likes of what's that guy's name Paul Washer right you can have people that are saved and all of a sudden they start hearing this guy and he's preaching on says like man I don't hear that you know you'd be going to maybe a more of a watered-down type of church we're not getting fed you're not here like preaching it's like oh man this guy is really really ripping on sin or whatever you're starting to hear this stuff and people in here I think about testimony of at one point listening to his preaching cuz you're thinking like man yeah I like I like the way he's doing this and you start you know this guy comes along it's like well hold on a minute though don't get too carried away with them cuz that guy's teaching damnable heresy that guy's teaching a works-based salvation you have to turn from all of your sins and if you see it you know like all this other nonsense is lordship salvation garbage remember where you came from and this is where he says here be followers of me he's kind of settling this matter trying to get the the church unified verse 17 for this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus who is my beloved son and faithful in the Lord again he's calling him is that's not his physical son he's not possible wasn't married and then have children out of wedlock the Timotheus is someone he won to the Christ won to Christ he won to the Lord that's why he's calling him his beloved son and faithful in the Lord who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ so every time we see the Apostle Paul telling people to follow him he's saying follow me as I follow Christ and he's gonna bring you the you know he's gonna bring you back into remembrance remember because the Apostle Paul was there with this church getting the people saved excuse me before he went on somewhere else so now he's writing this letter because he's not with them that's why he's writing to them right sending this letter saying you know what I'm gonna send Timothy because I could he's faithful I know you trust him he's one of the fruit of my labor right I've begotten him through the gospel and he's gonna bring the ways that I already taught you once to bring you back in remembrance remember when Paul was here this is this is the way you're supposed to be doing things and he's gonna go help bring order back to this church who shall bring you in remembrance of my ways which be in Christ not all of his ways if there's any ways that aren't in Christ but he's like you know what the ones that that are right in Christ as I teach everywhere in every church in verse 18 speaks to what I had mentioned earlier now some are puffed up as though I would not come to you so these are the people now that Paul he's not coming back he's not gonna do anything he's a blowhard or whatever right there they're just kind of spouting off verse 19 but I will come to you shortly if the Lord will and will know not the speech of them which are puffed up but the power for the kingdom of God is not in word but in power what will you shall I come unto you with a rod or in love and in the spirit of meekness so he's you know he's basically said I'm coming it's up to you to decide am I gonna come here and just correct like with the rod and just and just have to lay down law and get you right or are you just gonna go ahead and fix the things that are that are screwed up right now and then I could just come in love and we can just enjoy a good time of fellowship together
