My harsh words to many of these students…are said in love, hoping the verbal scolding will some way penetrate their satanic controlled minds.
–Hubert Lindsey, evangelist–

Except the Lord build the house,
they labour in vain that build it.
–Psalm 127:1 (KJV)–

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate,
and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction,
and many there be which go in thereat.
–Matthew 7:13 (KJV)–

The time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears.
–2 Timothy 4:3 (KJV)–

They have healed the hurt of the daughter
of my people slightly, saying,
Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
–Jeremiah 8:11 (KJV)–

I am against the prophets, saith the Lord,
that steal my words every one from his neighbour.
–Jeremiah 23:30 (KJV)–

Diotrephes, who loveth to have the
preeminence among them, receiveth us not.

This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; one that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
–1 Timothy 3:1-7 (KJV)–

Shout it aloud, do not hold back.
    Raise your voice like a trumpet.
Declare to my people their rebellion
    and to the descendants of Jacob their sins.
–Isaiah 58:1 (NIV)–

Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it,
because its wickedness has come up before me.
–Jonah 1:2 (NIV)–

Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it;
for their wickedness is come up before me.
–Jonah 1:2 (KJV)–

Matthew Henry Commentary on 1 Timothy 3:1-7.

Richard Baxter, The Reformed Pastor (Banner of Truth, 1974).

This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.

I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away:
for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you;
but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
