Practical Application: 154

It is easy to get side-tracked in the Christian life. We have to keep our eyes on the prize—being
rewarded in heaven by Jesus Christ (2 Timothy 4:8). We must strive to avoid both false doctrine and
ungodly practices. This can only be accomplished by being grounded in our knowledge of God’s Word
and firm in our refusal to accept anything that is unbiblical.
