2 Timothy​: Readings and the Thoughts that followed

2 Timothy 2:15 ~ "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."
  • Christians have been given a great task.  We are expected to take the gospel to the world.
  • When believers stand before God there will be an audit of sorts, inspecting to see how you spent your time, resources, and heart into the spreading of God's Word. 
  • Be sure that you stand before God, not ashamed, but as somebody who worked diligently to carry the good news. 3/14/18
2 Timothy 3:16 ~ "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,"
  • ​Notice that Paul doesn't say, "some scripture," he says ALL is the Word of God. 
  • The problem comes when men use scripture to fit their wants, desires, and schemes, but look at what scripture is good for.
  • Teaching, to express disapproval, to correct, and to train people how to be like God.
  • It's not for gaining money or power for yourself. 1/21/18
