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)

Those Who Can’t Hear the Music

 

"Those who dance are considered insane by those who can’t hear the music."
-- George Carlin

Yes, indeed. Christians, too, are called weak, foolish, crazy, whatever. Due simply to the fact that those who mock Christianity have not yet ever truly heard the music, the sweet melodies that only the Holy Spirit can provide.

 

Thank You, Jesus, for opening the eyes of my heart. Please, Lord, I ask you to open the eyes of all the hearts of *everyone* who reads this. Don't let any of them escape. Give them hearts of flesh that you can reshape, Lord, and cast out their hearts of stone, as you say in the Bible. If you can do it to me, and to hard-headed Marines I've prayed for and whom you've changed, I know you can also save all who read this. In Jesus mighty name I ask this, all for your glory, Father. Amen.

 

Straight Outta the Bible -- Rise & Shine!

 

“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you."

(Isaiah 60:1-2)
