4 FEB 24 Sunday: Coffee with Chaps Devotional
SOAPS (Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer, Share)
Reading Plan: Psalm 93, 96; Gen. 24: 50-67; 2 Tim. 2:14-21; Mark 10:13-22
Week of the Fifth Sunday after the Epiphany
Question of the day: Are you correcting the false teaching in your community?
S- “Remind everyone about these things, and command them in God’s presence to stop fighting over words. Such arguments are useless, and they can ruin those who hear them.” 2 Tim. 2:14
O- The pronouncement of truth is a good and faithful endeavor for each of us to be involved in. The negative side to teaching the truth is combating falsehood. People like to talk and argue, but truth has the authority to end these discussions to protect the people from damage. The foolish talk brings godless behavior and we will have to correct errors on a regular basis.
A- I will faithfully share the truth and wisdom of God’s word to the building up of the faithful and silence the falsehood when it comes.
P- Lord, we face difficulties daily as we proclaim your word among your people and the world. False teachers and ideas flood our streets and make their way into your church. Give us wisdom and strength to combat these things as they give birth to godless behaviors. Let truth win the day and your name be glorified in all that we do and say. Amen.
S- The few that I have been given to invest in.
