2 Timothy 2:1 You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
Paul is giving Timothy, a young preacher, advice, but what’s here is pretty good life advice: Be strong in God’s grace (not your own). Don’t quarrel about words. It’s pointless. Don’t gossip or run your mouth for the sake of something to say. Don’t get into stupid, pointless arguments.
2 Timothy 2:14 Keep reminding God’s people of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen.
The advice is simple, but not always easy. However, if we employ it, I think we’d see the benefits, too.
2 Timothy 2:16 Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly.
Precious Savior, Thank You for who You are and who You are to me. Thank You that Your word is active and alive. Thank You for Your love and grace. Amen.
2 Timothy 2:23 Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels.
Have a blessed day.
