![]() Does faith and faithfulness lead to a problem free life? What does a faithful servant of God look like anyway? "I more; in labours more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths many times; from Jews five times forty [stripes] save one I did receive; thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice was I shipwrecked, a night and a day in the deep I have passed; journeyings many times, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from kindred, perils from nations, perils in city, perils in wilderness, perils in sea, perils among false brethren; in laboriousness and painfulness, in watchings many times, in hunger and thirst, in fastings many times, in cold and nakedness; apart from the things without -- the crowding upon me that is daily -- the care of all the assemblies. (2nd Corinthians 11:23b-28) ![]()

![]() "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16 But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness. 17 And their message will spread like cancer..." (2nd Timothy 2:15-17a NKJV) "Be diligent to present thyself approved to God -- a workman irreproachable, rightly dividing the word of the truth; and the profane vain talkings stand aloof from, for to more impiety they will advance, and their word as a gangrene will have pasture…" (2nd Timothy 2:15,17a Young's Literal Translation) "Endeavor to present yourself to God qualified, an unashamed worker, correctly cutting the word of truth. Yet from profane prattlings stand aloof, for they will be progressing to more irreverence, and their word will spread as gangrene…" (2nd Timothy 2:15-17a Concordant Literal New Testament) ![]()
![]() "Be diligent to present thyself approved to God -- a workman irreproachable, rightly dividing the word of the truth." (2nd Timothy 2:15 Young's Literal Translation) Have you ever gotten a headache from wrestling with apparent contradictions in doctrine? Could the verse above hold the cure for the pain?

![]() What does it feel like to be wrong? Some might say it feels embarrassing or humiliating. Is that really what "wrong" feels like? Nope. That is what it feels like to discover you are wrong? In reality, being wrong "feels" the same as being right. Think about it. ![]()

Return to Me, for I have redeemed you.” 23 Sing, O heavens, for the Lord has done it! (Isaiah 44:21-23a NKJV And the all things [are] of God, who reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and did give to us the ministration of the reconciliation, 19 how that God was in Christ -- a world reconciling to Himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses; and having put in us the word of the reconciliation, 20 in behalf of Christ, then, we are ambassadors, as if God were calling through us, we beseech, in behalf of Christ, `Be ye reconciled to God;' 21 for him who did not know sin, in our behalf He did make sin, that we may become the righteousness of God in him.
