Paul provides a thought on spiritual encouragement that speaks to the heart of all of our relationships. He talks about the 'goal of our instruction' (I Timothy 1:5).
Paul uses declarative, direct statements to bring points that other leaders or philosphers might eventually articulate through a series of questions.
Our first and primary goal in any conversation is to encourage love from a pure heart. It is a goal that should be shared by all leaders.
The mark of a leader is to encourage men to check their motives, actions, goals with the standard of purity from the heart.
