2 Timothy 4:2-5 So I give you this command: Preach the good news. be ready at all times. Tell people what they need to do, tell them when they are wrong, and encourage them. Do these things with great patience and careful teaching. The time will come when people will not listen to the true teaching. They will find more and more teachers who say the things they want to hear. They will stop listening to the truth. They will begin to follow the teaching in false stories. But you should control yourself at all times. When troubles come accept them. Do the work of telling the Good news. Do all the duties of a servant of God.
I feel like the closer I get to God the more bad I see. We are so consumed with bad things in this world that most of the time we don't even recognize it. I can't even go through my Monday night class now without someone bringing up something that goes against God's word. I sat there wondering last night if I was the only one that knew God's word on the situation we were speaking about bc it seemed everyone was speaking against him. Everywhere you look we are consumed by the things of this world, and it has become so normal to us sometimes we don't see what we are doing is hurting God. When we think about it what benefit do we get from some of the television shows we watch, music we listen to, or activities we choose to do. God has really challenged me in this area the last couple of weeks, weeding out the world and replacing it with the word. Some things were more obvious than others, and its still a daily struggle to let go of this world and hold on to his word.
