#2 Timothy 3

[mybeautifulchristianjourney]

People will turn away from God in the last days

1 Let me tell you this. During the last days of this world, there will be times of great trouble. 2 People will love only themselves, and they will want lots of money for themselves. They will be proud and they will say how great they are. They will insult other people. They will not obey their parents. They will not thank anyone who helps them. They will not respect anything that is good. 3 They will not be kind to other people, but they will like to quarrel. They will tell lies to hurt other people. They will be unable to control themselves properly. They will be cruel and they will hate anything that is good. 4 People will turn against their friends. They will do foolish things. They will boast that they are very important. They will not love God, but instead they will only want to enjoy themselves. 5 Those people will seem to be serving God. But really they refuse to accept God's power to help them. You must stay away from people like that.

6 Among those people, there are some men who find a way into people's homes. They get power over silly women who feel very guilty about their sins. Those women want to do wrong things and they cannot stop themselves. 7 They are always trying to learn new things, but they can never really understand God's true message. 8 These are people who speak against God's true message, in the same way that Jannes and Jambres spoke against Moses. Their minds have become confused. The way that they serve God is false. 9 But they will not continue to do many more bad things. Everyone will see clearly that they are fools. That is what happened to Jannes and Jambres.

Timothy must copy Paul's example

10 But you, Timothy, have heard my message and you know it well. You also know the way in which I have lived. You know my purpose in life. You know how I trust God. You know how patient I have been. You know my love for God and for other people. You know that I have been strong during troubles. 11 You also know what happened to me in the cities called Antioch, Iconium and Lystra. People caused me to have a lot of trouble and pain in those places. But I was patient and brave in those bad troubles! And the Lord kept me safe in all those dangerous times.

12 It is not only me. Every Christian who wants to live in a way that pleases God will have trouble from other people. 13 Bad people like that will become even worse. Some of them will teach a false message and people will believe their lies. Those false teachers even believe their own lies!

It is important for us to know the Bible

14 But you must continue to believe the things that you have learned. You know that those things are true. You know the teachers who taught you those things. 15 Even when you were a child, you already knew the message of the Bible. The Bible has taught you how you can be truly wise. You understand that God saves you because you believe in Christ Jesus. 16 Everything that is written in the Bible comes from God's Spirit. It helps us in many ways. The Bible teaches us what is true. It warns us when we are doing wrong things. It shows us what is right. It teaches us how to live good lives. 17 As a result, people who want to serve God can know how to live properly. They will be people who are ready to do all kinds of good things. — 2 Timothy 3 | EasyEnglish Bible (EASY) EasyEnglish Bible Copyright © MissionAssist 2019 - Charitable Incorporated Organisation 1162807.

The steep price of purity of heart

The steep price of purity of heart

Today we will be looking at the core Bible principle of holiness, and how God has outlined a refining process for every individual who is seeking holiness and purity of heart. 2 Timothy 2:22 – Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. As Timothy was a young leader within the Yeshua movement of Judaism, Paul…

2 TIMOTHY S.O.A.P. ~ CHAPTER 3

Tuesday, 9/10/24

SCRIPTURE:

Every scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for showing mistakes, for correcting, and for training character, so that the person who belongs to God can be equipped to do everything that is good. ~ 2 Timothy 3:16-17

OBSERVATION:

Every scripture...

...teaches me something - if I'll just pay attention...

...shows my mistakes - many I'm already aware of...

...gives me correction - if I'll just follow it, right?

...trains my character - if I'll just follow the regimen..

So I can be:

Equipped to do everything that is good...

Equipped to do everything that is good...

Equipped to do everything that is good...

APPLICATION:

Be teachable...

Learn from - quit repeating - my mistakes... 

Accept correction...

Follow His training...

Be equipped...

PRAYER:

Loving Father God - I confess failing to learn from my mistakes and accepting correction in so many "little" things in my life, putting my wants and will before Your everything good You have for me in Your will - Thank You for Your Holy Spirit's continued patient correcting and teaching and equipping despite my selfishness, and may I see Your hand and direction in all that I do so that You might get the glory - In Jesus's Name and for Your praise and worship...

For Him... for y'all... for yours...

The Necessity of Mentoring Relationships: Paul, Tom, and Timothy (2 Timothy 3:10-15)

Leaders must intentionally pass on a solid body of teaching, along with a consistent example of how to put it into practice, through close relationships.

Orthodox icon of St. Paul the Apostle Orthodox icon of St. Timothy You’ve been a good apprentice to me, a part of my teaching, my manner of life, direction, faith, steadiness, love, patience, troubles, sufferings—suffering along with me in all the grief I had to put up with in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. And you also well know that God rescued me! Anyone who wants to live all out for Christ…

Evil in the Last Days

1 Know this also, that in the last days perilous times shall come; 2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, braggarts, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, without self-control, savage, despisers of those who are good, 4 Betrayers, reckless, egotistical, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God; 5 Having an outward appearance of godliness, but denying the power of true godliness. But as for you, turn away from all these. 6 For from men such as these come those who are worming their way into houses, and are gaining control over empty-headed gullible women given over to various sins, being driven by all kinds of lust. 7 They are always learning but are never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now just as Jannes and Jambres stood against Moses, in the same manner also these are brazenly standing against the truth; they are men of depraved minds, reprobate in respect to the faith. 9 But they will proceed no further, because their folly will become clearly evident to everyone, just as theirs also was.

10 But you have closely followed my doctrine, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, 11 Persecutions and sufferings--such as happened to me in Antioch, in Iconium, and in Lystra. You know what sort of persecutions I endured; and the Lord delivered me out of them all. 12 And indeed, everyone who desires to live godly in Christ Jesus shall be persecuted. 13 But wicked men and imposters shall become worse and worse, deceiving others and being deceived themselves. 14 But as for you, continue in the things that you did learn and were assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them; 15 And that from a child you have known the Holy Writings, which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith, which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is profitable for doctrine, for conviction, for correction, for instruction in righteousness; 17 So that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work. — 2 Timothy 3 | A Faithful Version (AFV) Holy Bible, A Faithful Version © 2020 A Faithful Version.
