My God and My Country

2 Timothy 2:22-23 - (GNVT)

22 Flee also from the lusts of youth, and follow after righteousness, faith, love, and peace, with them that call on the Lord with pure heart, 23 And put away foolish and unlearned questions, knowing that they engender strife.

Father, forgive me from not seeking Your word the past 2 days. I seek today to understand Your word. My only prayer is to help me be more consistent even on the most busiest of my days – amen

Brethren:

To avoid, nay flee away from such indiscretions of youth. Walk away from unrighteousness as a youth might encounter. Instead walk and seek righteousness with all men for much depends on you (Read Romans 12:18). Walk in peace and love with those that call upon the Lord. Likewise avoid all strife and vain babbling from those that stray from the true Gospel of Christ, yet teach them with patience, love and understanding to bring them back to that truth. - R.P. Woitowitz

“Namely, those peculiarly incident to youth; that is, shun all occasions of exciting or gratifying them, whether, on the one hand, the love of sensual pleasure and the inclination to gratify the appetites and senses of the body, or, on the other, pride, ambition, vain-glory, rashness, contention, obstinacy; vices to which young persons are peculiarly obnoxious; and which some who are free from sensual lusts, are at little pains to avoid. That is, instead of making provision for these carnal dispositions, or yielding to their motions when they arise, pursue with the greatest ardor and intensiveness of mind, and with all diligence and constancy, righteousness — In all its branches; every part of thy duty toward God and man; faith — Or fidelity; charity — That is, love; peace with them that call on the Lord, &c. — Especially with all the true people of God.” - Joseph Benson
