Be gentle, teach the Bible, if all else fails-use words. 2 Timothy 2:24

Good morning everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

2 Timothy 2:24 "And the servant of the LORD must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,"

Must not strive in Greek is machomai which means to quarrel or argue with heated emotions. It is a sin for anyone to lose patience, especially a minister. WOW! Think about this. This came straight from my references. Don't lose patience!!!!! Timothy helped those who were confused about the truth and Paul's advice to Timothy and to all who teach God's truth, is to be kind and gentle, patiently and courteously explaining the truth.

Good teaching never promotes quarrels or foolish arguments. Wow! Take in these words for a bit. Good teaching never promotes ________what? _________ or what??? _______ ________ . Yes quarrels or foolish arguments. Again, back to the Seinfield series, take a little itty bitty point and blow it up really big. WHY???

May you be gentle to others today, a good teacher and patient. Share the Bible today and if all else fails use words. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
