Dear Bros in Christ,

Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.
Brothers in Christ, this weekly encouragement is sent and meant to be an encouragement to all and to build up and edify in the Lord Jesus Christ. Oikodome
means "Builder". The Lord has put this on my heart to send out a monthly Iron Man Oikodome {oy-kod-om-ay'} to build up and encourage the men who love
and follow Jesus Christ in their walk with Him.
Hebrews 3: 13 "But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness."
PRAYER REQUESTS: If you have any prayer requests please send them and I will send them out to the bros for prayer, if privacy is needed I will send in a
discreet way.

Bros as Timothy is cautioned to avoid ungodly teachings that are creeping in, not to get caught
up in the dispensers of bad teaching, to argue with them as to give merit to the ungodly and
to do so it would open the door to more ungodliness. Much akin to when a lie is told, it cant
hold itself up on its own merit so the only way for the lie to stand is to prop it up with more
and greater lies that increase to more ungodliness The truth of Gods Word will always stand
on its own evidence and prevail- God is not a liar. Jesus said I am the way, the truth and
the life.[John 14:6 NKJV] Bros we too must always be careful and on guard for the truth
because there is a clear and present danger in whats being taught! There are many false
teachers lurking about, even creeping into the churches trying to sell a lie, whether it is for
personal gain to fame, fnancial gain or some cult denying the Deity of Jesus Christ or modern
day social club churches that are all about entertaining the masses, tickling the ears. What is
always needed yesterday and today more than anything is the teaching of Gods Word; the
purity and simplicity of the Scriptures and less of the profane and idle babblings amen!
Timothy being young though he was also a gifted teacher of the word and Paul encouraged
him to handle the Word right and to turn his focus away from irreverent foolish babblings that
take the focus away from the Word of God and lead to more ungodliness. Great wisdom even for
us today bros!
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
[John 1:1 NKJV] And we ought to stick with the Word until the Lord comes and takes us away
with Him The beginning and ultimate end result is and always should be Jesus-so that is
where we ought to keep our focus on and in Jesus and His Word. And if you have strayed or
got caught up in profane and idle babblings, take some great counsel from Paul and shun
them before they increase to more ungodliness and return to your frst love. Bros in Christ
with such an upsurge in profane and idle babblings all around us its important for us to draw
closer to the Lord; to be grounded and rooted in Him and His Word and His truth.
Check out what the Bereans did they verifed! These were more fair-minded than those in
Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures
daily [to fnd out] whether these things were so. [Act 17:11 NKJV]
