Are You A Bond-Servant?
November 17th, 2009
“The Lord’s bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able
to teach,
patient when wronged,
with gentleness correcting those who are the opposition,
if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth…”
2 Timothy 2:24, 25 (italics and bold mine)
What an awesome thing to strive for.

Talk about convicting…there is some church politics kind of stuff going on right now at my church and God used this verse to instruct me not to voice my opinion just the other night. YIKES!

Yes. Sigh. I need to imprint this on my heart and mind. Keeping my mouth silent and being loving is what God has called us to do.

This is what I needed to read today. And every day for that matter…
Thank you.

The “patient when wronged part” is SO difficult to uphold, especially when it comes from family unfairly. Ugh.
Love this scriptural reminder, as we head into Thanksgiving week with said family! Ha! :-)

Ugh. I lost it at quarrelsome. I’m working on it.

Convicting post. I know I’m hot tempered, though many might not see it because I guess I keep it under control, but God knows I struggle with some of these things. Thanks for the reminder!
I have always liked this particular verse. Some times I think as followers of Christ we forget we are servants…meant to do His will in the world. I know I forget from time to time. Thank you for this important reminder.
