Do we realize that people are listening to what they want to listen to and they have lost the accurate Word of God even in many of our churches today? We need to guard what has been entrusted to us and to teach others who will duplicate the disciples as well. It is so important that we cling to the accurate and full Word of God. Look at how satisfied Paul was with his life as he enters his final battle. He had no one but the Lord to stand with him in the end and yet he knew that he had fought the good fight and kept the faith. He knew he had finished the course the Lord had designed him for. If we have that at the end, we can die satisfied, knowing our reward awaits in heaven. How will reading this letter effect your life from this point forward? Summarize your thoughts and post a prayer if you would like. Tomorrow we will begin reading another pastoral letter from Paul to Titus. Hope you will be back to join in with us. Prayer Father God, I pray ...
