1 I CHARGE [you] in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, 1 I CHARGE [you] in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, Who is to judge the living and the dead, and by (in the light of) His coming and His kingdom: Who is to judge the living and the dead, and by (in the light of) His coming and His kingdom: 2 Herald and preach the Word! Keep your sense of urgency [stand by, be at hand and ready], whether the opportunity seems to be favourable or unfavourable. [Whether it is convenient or inconvenient, whether it is welcome or unwelcome, you as preacher of the Word are to show people in what way their lives are wrong.] And convince them, rebuking and correcting, warning and urging and encouraging them, being unflagging and inexhaustible in patience and teaching. 3 For the time is coming when [people] will not tolerate (endure) sound and wholesome instruction, but, having ears itching [for something pleasing and gratifying], they will gather to themselves one teacher after another to a considerable number, chosen to satisfy their own liking and to foster the errors they hold, 4 And will turn aside from hearing the truth and wander off into myths and man-made fictions.

Rules: Context is King Seek the full counsel of God Scripture will never contradict Scripture Don’t build a system of thought on an obscure passage Interpret Scripture literally Look for the central message

Summary Statement

APPLICATION What authority do the Bible writers have? How do people in our generation respond to the Bible? How often should I be engaging with scripture? How do I respond to the Bible – do I judge it or do I allow it to judge me? How could this truth change the direction of my life?
