✦ MADE SIMPLE

Then Jesus raised his voice while he was teaching in the temple and said, 'You think you know me and where I'm from, but I didn't just show up here on my own. The one who sent me is real and true — but you don't actually know him.'

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Jesus called out people who thought they had him figured out but were missing the bigger picture.

And hey, dads — don't constantly frustrate your kids or push them to their breaking point. Instead, raise them with God's love and guidance, teaching them what's right in a way that actually builds them up.

1 Timothy 6:2

If you're working for someone who's also a believer, don't think that gives you permission to slack off or be disrespectful just because you're both Christians.

Paul's telling Timothy — make sure you teach this stuff and really drive it home.
