The fact that Paul was concerned for the handing down of a Christ-centered faith is very significant. If Christ-centered teaching is not preserved and handed down to the next generation, it will be lost in the milieu of liberalism, atheism, Churchianity, and false religions. It is very nearly lost already. Scripture also declares that “the Spirit speaks expressly that in the latter times, some will depart from the faith” (1 Timothy 4:1). We believe this is being fulfilled before our eyes – many have departed from a Christ-centered faith and adopted a Church-centered faith. To overcome this, we must do what the Institutional Church has failed to do: we must teach these things to faithful people who can teach others to ensure the continuity of the Testimony of Jesus until He returns. But what “things” should we be teaching people? And what exactly is a “Christ-centered faith”? That’s what we will explore together in this series of teachings.
