Carry Out Your Ministry
Fully
In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the
living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I solemnly
urge you; proclaim the message; be persistent whether the time is favorable or
unfavorable; convince, rebuke, and encourage, with the utmost patience in
teaching. For the time is coming when people will not put up with sound
doctrine, but having itching ears, they will accumulate for themselves teachers
to suit their own desires, and will turn away from listening to the truth and
wander away to myths. As for you, always be sober, endure suffering, do the
work of an evangelist, carry out your ministry fully.
2 Timothy 4:1-5
Proposing new books of the Bible is not new. Paul talked about a
time when people would not adhere to sound doctrine, and that they would have
itching ears, and then come up with teachers who would tell them what they
wanted to hear. Nothing much has changed since the time of Jesus. People still
try to come up with ways not be believe in the sanctity of the Bible. Don’t
fall for it.
To trust God
is to trust in His Holy Word.
