YOUR HOLY PURSUIT!
— July.01.2023 — #mamashelia —
“Whatever builds up your faith and deepens your love must become your holy pursuit.”
—Paul is writing to Timothy with a deep passion! Timothy, his spiritual son, into whom he invests the mysteries of Christ and the importance of an intimate relationship with Him. These instruction also hold the key to our intimacy with God. —
“Live in peace with all those who worship our Lord Jesus with pure hearts. Stay away from all the foolish arguments of the immature, for these disputes will only generate more conflict.
“For a true servant of our Lord Jesus will not be argumentative but gentle toward all and skilled in helping others see the truth, having great patience toward the immature.
“Then with meekness you’ll be able to carefully enlighten those who argue with you so they can see God’s gracious gift of repentance and be brought to the truth.
“This will cause them to rediscover themselves and escape from the snare of Satan who caught them in his trap so that they would carry out his purposes.”
(2 Tim.2:22-26)
“But you need to be aware that in the final days the culture of society will become extremely fierce. People will be self-centered lovers of themselves and obsessed with money.
“They will boast of great things as they strut around in their arrogant pride and mock all that is right.
“They will ignore their own families. They will be ungrateful and ungodly. They will become addicted to hateful and malicious slander. Slaves to their desires, they will be ferocious, belligerent haters of what is good and right.
“With brutal treachery, they will act without restraint, bigoted and wrapped in clouds of their conceit. They will find their delight in the pleasures of this world more than the pleasures of the loving God.
“They may pretend to have a respect for God, but in reality they want nothing to do with God’s power.
“Stay away from people like these!
“For they are the ones who worm their way into the hearts of vulnerable women, spending the night with those who are captured by their lusts and steeped in sin. They are always learning but never discover the revelation — the knowledge of truth.
“But they will not advance, for everyone will see their madness.” (2 Tim.3:1-9)
— We obviously are living in this time! Our hearts break as we see the Pride and arrogance of depraved mankind!
“But as people sinned more and more, God’s wonderful grace becomes more abundant.” (Rom.5:20)
And as Sons of God, we purse Him and all that He is — more and more! This is your “Holy Pursuit!” #sheliahartartt
