Today’s Thought “The Way to Glory” G. Ward

 

2 Timothy 2:15-16 ”Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.  But avoid worldly and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness.”

 

We’re at an all-time low. Obedience is with a varied definition. Preachers are declaring political stances vs. truest reconciliation in Christ, denying unbelievers light unto their paths. Wrong is construed as right and children are forced onto their own determinations.

The Apostle Paul sought to warn young believing Timothy of a similar posture. Paul knew of his time as short, delighting in a protégé like Timothy. Unlike the straining of today from preachers, the pulpits then didn’t include the exorbitant lifestyles pervaded unto our era; instead the message of suffering was chieftain and still is (*cf. Deut.18:20). The gospel’s supremacy and relevancy is timeless, seeking to hide men from this perverse generation and it appears mankind’s insistence to be out front outweighs the demands from the Most High, making more agents in regression.

If/when your warnings lack the similitude shared by Paul onto the protégé in front of you, don’t consider presence with the LORD something to grasp. The grip of grace offered you and me on today, is the comfort for days hereafter whereby perfect peace exists.
