1Tm4

In the last days, people will depart from the faith because they will be listening to deceitful demons! Scary stuff.

What do you think these demons are saying?  What kinds of things are they lying about?  I believe at least some of the answer is in this chapter.  Paul was instructing Timothy to be careful to follow hard after God and His word and not these false teachers who suggest all kinds of rules outside of scripture.

Paul challenges Timothy to the greatest discipline...godliness!  Some seek to train their bodies, and there is some value in that.  Paul commands Timothy to train himself in godliness because there is great value in that!

Timothy was to watch his life carefully and make sure that it lined up with the teaching of God's word.  It is the only way to not get sucked into demonic doctrines that lead us away from Christ.
