14 Keep reminding God’s people of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen. 15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. 16 Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly. (II Timothy 2)
It was bound to happen sometime. I woke up singing the AWANA theme song, taken from the passage above. Study, work hard, do you best, to present yourself to God as one approved - one who does not need to be ashamed. This is not works righteousness, but righteousness that works. It is doing instead of just chatting, serving instead of just singing about it, studying instead of just "letting it soak in." There's a whole lot of "chatter" going on, and not much getting into and living by the Word of God, so let's change that, starting today.
