Be Ye Ready

Are you ready? What for you ask? Preaching the Word of course. Do you need to prepare and perhaps write out long sermons or testimonies. Those are not bad, but not necessary. Paul writes in 2 Tim to be ready, preach the Word. Paul is writing his last letter to Timothy to encourage him to keep preaching and teaching,, even amid the turmoil and suffering. Be ready whenever the occasion might arise. It is God who has equipped us, so do not lean on your own understanding. In ch1v7 Paul notes God has given us power, so we need not be ashamed to tell others about our Lord. God has entrusted us with truth, but it is not ours to keep. Nothing is of value until it is given away! There is much blessing in giving! Ch3v16-17 is a keeper...memorize it and apply it! You must feed on the Word, do not be intimidated or oerwhelmed. God gave it to us to use! It is relevant and applies to us even 2000 years later! Preach the gospel, when necessary, use words....St. Francis.
