Warning 1: Danger of drifting from the truth

Warning 2: Danger of immaturity

Warning 3:

  1. God has a race

    Hebrews 12:1 … and let us run with endurance the race that God has set before us.

    1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight for what we believe …

    Hebrews 12:1 … and let us run with endurance the race that God has set before us.
