DO RIGHT: YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHERS
Hebrews 13:1-4
The chapter in the book of Hebrews which is different from all the other chapters.

with me left from Hebrews to 11 Timothy, chapter number 4. II Timothy, chapter
number 4. Let us bow for prayer as we begin.
Father, we thank you for your word that is indeed a two-edged sword.

He says to Timothy in verse 2;
"Preach the word. Be ready in season and out of season."

"Reprove, rebuke, exhort with great patience and instruction."
And then verse 3,he has a prophetic word;
For the time will come when they will not endure - sound doctrine - but

their ears, the truth. And will turn aside to myths. For you, Timothy, be

your ministry."
