The Defender of Truth

 
The defender of truth will need to watch his spirit and temper lest, while he attacks error in doctrine, he fall into error in practice. "The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit." 2 Tim. 4:2222The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen. <<The second epistle unto Timotheus, ordained the first bishop of the church of the Ephesians, was written from Rome, when Paul was brought before Nero the second time.>> (2 Timothy 4:22). Worship is for spiritual persons who are led by the Spirit. To lower the character of communion, in order to meet the assumed unspiritual condition of some who may be present, is emphatically to make steps up to the altar (Ex. 20:2626Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon. (Exodus 20:26)).
