Paul wrote his first letter to Timothy so he would know, "...how one ought to behave in the household of God, the church of the living God..." (3:14,15). In doing so he laid down the apostolic foundation for doctrine and practice for the church at Ephesus and the Scriptural model for the true church for all time. The contemporary church, therefore, has no excuse for not doing God's work God's way.
