2 Timothy 3:16-17 - All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 4:2 - Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage - with great patience and careful instruction.
First of all do you believe what Paul is writing here? That all Scripture is God breathed and is useful?
Paul is pointing out that the Scripture, the Word, your Bible is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness. So that we can be equipped for the good work he has in mind for us. He goes on to say to be prepared in season and out of season. That when we correct, rebuke and encourage...to do so in great patience and careful instruction.
We need to know our Bible, our Scriptures. They are the road map, the blue print to how to do all that we every really need to do.
As leaders (we are all leaders and have influence) we need to know our Bible to preach and teach, to rebuke and correct, to train. We need to be prepared always and in every season. We need to do all of this in great patience and careful instruction.
How are you leading at home? Your wife, your kids?
How are you leading at work?
How are you leading in your Church?
How are you leading yourself?
Is it as Paul describes? Are you in your Bible daily? Are you using it to determine how to live your life?
