2Ti 4:1I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead eat [fn]His appearing and His kingdom: 2Ti 4:2Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all long suffering and teaching. 2Ti 4:3For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;2Ti 4:4and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. 2Ti 4:5But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. Today has been a most wonderful day! I am here in the Mountains of NC, with my parents and with Chelsea. It was time to get some much needed spiritual rest and renewal and I know of no better place than here at the Inn! God has been doing some mighty things in the life of me, my family, our church and the Band! The problem is that with sooooo many things going on, it becomes hard to hear that sweet, still, small voice of my Father! I have had so many things running in and through my brain (which feels as if it is deteriorating by the day!) that confusion and frustration seem to be the words of the day. Today after lunch, we had a devotion time and it was so right up the alley of what I needed to hear! 1Cr 13:7bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.This is the book and chapter of love. . . . . . please read the whole thing!
