It's Just an Old Book

 

"It's just an old book, irrelevant today," or so they say. But the Bible says...

 

"The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit."

(1 Corinthians 2:14)

Straight Outta the Bible:
   You Who Are Younger

 

"In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,

   'God opposes the proud
   but shows favor to the humble.'

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."

(1 Peter 5:5-7)

Straight Outta the Bible:
  The Lord's Servant Must Not Be Quarrelsome

 

The Book of 2nd Timothy, chapter 2, verses 19 & 22-26 say:

 

(19) "Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: 'The Lord knows those who are his,' and, 'Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.'"

(22-26) "Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will."

(2 Tim 2:19,22-26)
