Rightly Explain the Word of Truth

The Spirit Comes
The Pledge of God's Presence

Co-workers with the Truth

2 Timothy 2:14-19  The Message

^14-18 Repeat these basic essentials over and over to God’s people. Warn them before God against pious nitpicking, which chips away at the faith. It just wears everyone out. Concentrate on doing your best for God, work you won’t be ashamed of, laying out the truth plain and simple. Stay clear of pious talk that is only talk. Words are not mere words, you know. If they’re not backed by a godly life, they accumulate as poison in the soul. Hymenaeus and Philetus are examples, throwing believers off stride and missing the truth by a mile by saying the resurrection is over and done with.

¹⁹ Meanwhile, God’s firm foundation is as firm as ever, these sentences engraved on the stones:

god knows who belongs to him.
spurn evil, all you who name god as god.

For Reflection 

Two people may be able to work perfectly together even though they are of two divergent philosophies.  As long as they concentrate on the task a hand, they are fine.  However, if they argue philosophy they may not be able to reach a workable consensus.  So I ask, if each is doing Godly acts in harmony with each other. what philosophy is active?

Work for good.  Avoid those who accomplish little but argue a lot.

Pray

for the church, universal.  Pray for unity of God's people.  Pray that the diversity in faith is strengthening God's Kingdom.  Pray that the false truths preached by some will fall on deaf ears.
