There is no substitute for the preaching and teaching of God's Word. Each weekday on enjoying the journey, Scott Pauley leads us in a brief study of Scripture.

Today, on the weekend pulpit, we are happy to share a full-length Bible message given through Scott's pulpit ministry. These messages were recorded live in a local church or gospel event in recent days. It is our prayer that the message will be a help to you today.

Let's open the Word of God together, would you please?

In the first session, I took you to 1 John, but in this hour, I want to bring you to 1st Timothy.

If you'll find 1st Timothy in your Bible, 1 Timothy chapter number 4.

And I want to continue this little emphasis that we're studying on strong men.

It is not physical, it is spiritual.

The strongest man in the Bible, who comes to your mind?

Samson.

And isn't it interesting, though, that the strongest man in many ways was one of the weakest of men.

Wisest man in the Bible.

Who comes to your mind?

Solomon.

And yet isn't interesting.

But why is this man in many ways, one of the most foolish men?

I heard years ago that most men do not fail in their weak points.

They fail in their strong points.

For example, Moses, meekest man in the Bible.

How did he fail?

He got angry.

Fascinating, isn't it?

Peter, courageous? You better believe it.
