Discipleship in the Last Days

 Problem – 2 Timothy 3: 1-9  What is the issue? What are the indicators?  Solution Strategy – 2 Tim 3:  What are the guiding principles for approaching issue?  Implementation – 2 Tim 4:1-5  What is the exhortation as it applies to us? Find the Facts, establish the Principles, apply the Exhortation

 “Lovers of their own selves”: Selfish, intent on own interests  “Covetous”: Lover of money (Lk 16:14 – Pharisees)  “Boasters”: Empty pretender (from vagrancy = directionless)  “Proud”: pre-eminence over others  “Blasphemers”: False words concerning God  “Disobedient to parents”  “Unthankful”  “Unholy”: Wicked  “Without natural affection”: Inhuman, no love for fellow man  “Trucebreakers”: Unforgiving  “False Accusers”: Diabolos… slander

 “Incontinent”: No self control  “Fierce”: Savage  “Despisers of those that are good”  “Traitors”: betray friends (used of Judas)  “Heady”: Reckless, rash  “Highminded”: Blinded by conceit  “Lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God”:  “Having a form of Godliness”: Outward appearance is good  “But denying the power thereof”: Never changes their life  “Ever learning”: always gaining more knowledge  “Never able… knowledge of truth”: never translates to understanding

 “Lovers of their own selves”: Selfish, intent on own interests  “Covetous”: Lover of money (Lk 16:14 – Pharisees)  “Boasters”: Empty pretender (from vagrancy = directionless)  “Proud”: pre-eminence over others  “Unthankful”  “Lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God”:  “Having a form of Godliness”: Outward appearance is good  “But denying the power thereof”: Never changes their life  “Ever learning”: always gaining more knowledge  “Never able… knowledge of truth”: never translates to understanding If we see these within ourselves, what do we do about it?

 “Thou hast fully known” – Carefully followed  Doctrine: Teaching  Manner of life: Conduct  Purpose: Goal in life  Faith: Conviction  Longsuffering: Patience  Love: Agape – Self-sacrificing love  Patience: Endurance  Persecutions: Suffering for truth sake  Afflictions: Trials  “Continue thou in those things” “Walk in the spirit and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh” Gal 5:16

Teaching and Conduct Goal and Conviction Patient, self - sacrificing love Endure trials & afflictions Deliverance (goal) Strategy: Develop a Goal and a Conviction that enables a Patient, Self-sacrificing love that will Endure Trials & Afflictions in order to achieve that Goal.

 Scriptures enable adherence to plan  Inspired: God-breathed – they are alive!  Doctrine: For teaching  Reproof: For proving what’s true  Correction: For correcting what’s wrong  Instruction: For training in what’s right

 Preach the word!  When it’s convenient and when it’s not convenient  Reprove: Bring error to light  Rebuke: Strong stand against wrong  Exhort w/ longsuffering and doctrine: uplift/encourage  But people won’t want to hear Preaching is to those outside ecclesia and inside - But not ‘one size fits all’!

 Problem – people will be totally opposed to God  Solution – Walk in the Spirit!  Pick an example to follow  Gain a solid foundation in the Word  Apply the Word by making a goal, committing to goal, and enduring whatever necessary to achieve  Don’t focus on negative inputs, God will take care of!  Make Word of God enabler for achieving goal  Implementation – Preach!  Inside the ecclesia and out – always be ready  People won’t want to listen  But don’t be dissuaded… be fully persuaded!

Teaching and Conduct Goal and Conviction Patient, self-sacrificing love Endure trials & afflictions Deliverance (goal)
