V. 23 – Foolish, ignorant arguments. Have you ever heard such? Have you ever engaged in such yourself? Working with people (even Christian people) can be a challenge. We are to be patient with each other. How many people (not counting yourself) do you know who like to argue, like to quarrel, and seem to enjoy being difficult? V. 3:1 – The last days, difficult times. Read these verses slowly, and then ask this question: Is it possible that indeed the time is near? Though none of us have the final answer, should not it cause us to live in a spirit of expectancy and with sincere dedication to the Lord and His work? Notice that Paul suggest that his life has been a good example for folks as to how one ought to live. Could I say that of my life? V. 14 – Remain faithful. In what ways might I improve my life in this area of faithfulness? V. 16 – A good verse to remind us that Scripture is God breathed; inspired. V. 17 – The Scriptures are to prepare and equip God’s people for living life as it should be lived. A final emphasis – the importance of getting to know the message of our Bible better, and then to live accordingly.
