II Timothy 4:2 ” Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage – with great patience and careful instruction.”

To know the mind, heart, & Will of God, we must know His Word. For all of Scripture is God-breathed…prompted, inspired, and divinely breathed out in perfect form & fashion. So then as Believers of God, we are to be spiritual messengers of God’s Word to the world…this Gospel Message so ingrained within us, that it has become part of our being. But here Paul also warns Timothy of several pitfalls. First, preach the Word with great patience. For thumping people over the head with your Bible will never get you converts, neither will irritation & intolerance help people to see The Way any clearer. Secondly, we are to teach the full doctrine of Christ, not overlooking any part just because we don’t think it’s important. If it’s in the Bible, it’s important…and besides, we have no idea what detail of the Gospel Message will tug at & convict the person we’re telling it to. Preach the Word.
