It’s time to ENGAGE.   No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier. II Timothy 2:4   The best way to summarize the context of this verse within Paul’s letter to Timothy is this: Paul is encouraging Timothy to...

Matthew 7:1-5 “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or...
