The Word of the Day

1Ti 4:12	Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but {rather} in speech, conduct, love, faith {and} purity, show yourself an example of those who believe.
1Ti 4:13	Until I come, give attention to the {public} reading {of Scripture,} to exhortation and teaching.
1Ti 4:14	Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you, which was bestowed on you through prophetic utterance with the laying on of hands by the presbytery.
1Ti 4:15	Take pains with these things; be {absorbed} in them, so that your progress will be evident to all.
1Ti 4:16	Pay close attention to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in these things, for as you do this you will ensure salvation both for yourself and for those who hear you. It's Sunday so I thought I'd drop a little word into my blog. I had allergies to something in my room last night, so I woke up at 4am and was up for a bit on the computer and eating oatmeal. I find the act of eating helps when I have an irritated throat. So I was up last night and ended up going back to bed this morning after getting my client up and on the go. This means I missed church, but I felt justified in this choice as the body is a temple (1 Corinthians 6:19)* and I am to take care of it, especially on the day of rest. I don't want to end up sick here, that's for sure. I don't think I need to explain this verse any, its pretty strait foreword in telling the Church some key things we should be up to in our day to day lives as Christians. That's all I have for now. I find a lot of the time I get a verse or a suggestion for someone I know, and I want to tell them, but I just don't feel right when it is critical of their lives. I sure don't feel like I am the one to be casting the first stone, but this should not over shadow the accountability we have toward one another. I do have a thought of a verse but I cannot find it. It was about speaking everything with love, but maybe I was thinking of the one I have listed below. I guess here in 1 John I find my answer. We are to pray about the matter that we see in the other person. 1Jo 5:16 If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not {leading} to death, he shall ask and {God} will for him give life to those who commit sin not {leading} to death. There is a sin {leading} to death; I do not say that he should make request for this. This is not the verse I was talking about, but it too is good to keep in mind when someone is trying to have a debate or argument. Tts 3:9 But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and strife and disputes about the Law, for they are unprofitable and worthless. Tts 3:10 Reject a factious man after a first and second warning, Tts 3:11 knowing that such a man is perverted and is sinning, being self-condemned. * http://cf.blueletterbible.org/search/translationResults.cfm?Criteria=body+is+a+temple&t=NASB&sf=5 LOVE 1Cr 16:14 Let all that you do be done in love. 2Jo 1:6 And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.
