Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.
2 Timothy 4:2
Be prepared at all times to serve God with the gifts you have.
for Demas, because he loved this world, has deserted me and has gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia.
2 Timothy 4:10
I wonder what his love of the world was. Perhaps things were too difficult in this place or conditions sparce. Probably things were better in Thessalonica. We do often want to avoid hardship but we need to stay where God is working until he says to go.
You too should be on your guard against him, because he strongly opposed our message.
2 Timothy 4:15
Contrary to some belief, as believers we should be wary of certain people who oppose the gospel.
The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
2 Timothy 4:18 NIV
No matter the difficulty God has our backs!
