    What does youth bring to the table? Energy, simple faith, challenge to us "old" people, new ideas, etc! Here we see that being young is not a bad thing, but a state to be used to be an example to the believers. As "mature" believers, we settle into our spiritual routine, happy with the way things are, not ready for the challenge of "youth." Do you suppose that this teaching in Timothy applies...

    pastorjeremy1 added a text contribution Have I been turned over to Satan?
    Hmmmm, Is this the ultimate "I give up on you" Paul says he has handed these 2 men "over to Satan" so they can be taught a lesson. Sounds kinda harsh to me, just to understand that they need to have faith, and a clear conscious. Well, looks like they didn't care much about those things, so they blasphemed, Here is someones writing on blasphemy, (An indignity offered to God in words, writing,... Read more »

    Paul is writing that he is a follower by the command of God. He understands what God's will is, to follow Him. But, could Paul also be referring that he has put his life under the "command" of God, like a soldier is under someone else's command? Paul teaching that we follow God, because HE commands us to, and that when we follow God, His will, His wish is our command. So Paul is saying that his... Read more »
