The apostle Paul sent Timothy to confront false teachers in the church of Ephesus. Paul's instruction to Timothy about how he should confront false teacher and false doctrine in Ephesus give us good guidelines we can still use today!
While the apostle Paul was imprisoned in Rome he was greatly concerned about the congregation of God's Church he had established in Ephesus. Paul was aware that their church life had deteriorated greatly.
Instead of holding to the course of sound doctrine they were engaged in meaningless disputes about questionable matters which Paul called "endless genealogies and fables [myths]. Additionally they were have difficulties maintaining proper order in their worship services. The church in Ephesus need some solid direction about he appropriate roles and responsibilities with a congregation... the household of God!
Paul sent his trusted co-worker Timothy to confront, expose and combat the false teachers, and false doctrine in Ephesus. Its warning and correction we need even today!
