Title: 2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV) Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.


1
Spiritual FamineA Failure to Study
  • 2 Timothy 215 (KJV) Study to shew thyself
    approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to
    be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

2
The text 2 Timothy 215
  • Study in KJV is not the whole story
  • Greek word make every effort
  • ASV Give diligence
  • NASB and NKJV Be diligent
  • NIV Do your best
  • Greek word also used make haste, be zealous, be
    eager

Spiritual Famine
  • Bible is still a best seller every year
  • More Bibles, but less reading, study, knowledge,
    or understanding
  • In the past we were Bible toters and Bible
    quoters. Is that true today?
  • Hosea 46 My people are destroyed for lack of
    knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I
    also will reject you from being priest for Me
    Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I
    also will forget your children.

Spiritual Famine
  • There is no excuse for not knowing
  • Ephesians 33-5 3 how that by revelation He made
    known to me the mystery (as I have briefly
    written already, 4 by which, when you read, you
    may understand my knowledge in the mystery of
    Christ), 5 which in other ages was not made known
    to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed
    by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets.

Bible is Food for the Soul
  • Matthew 44 But He answered and said, "It is
    written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but
    by every word that proceeds from the mouth of
    God.' "
  • 1 Peter 22-3 2 as newborn babes, desire the pure
    milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, 3 if
    indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

6
Bible is Food for the Soul
  • Hebrews 512-14 12 For though by this time you
    ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach
    you again the first principles of the oracles of
    God and you have come to need milk and not solid
    food. 13 For everyone who partakes only of milk
    is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he
    is a babe. 14 But solid food belongs to those who
    are of full age, that is, those who by reason of
    use have their senses exercised to discern both
    good and evil.

7
Bible is Food for the Soul
  • Amos 811-12 11 "Behold, the days are coming,"
    says the Lord God, "That I will send a famine on
    the land, Not a famine of bread, Nor a thirst for
    water, But of hearing the words of the Lord. 12
    They shall wander from sea to sea, And from north
    to east They shall run to and fro, seeking the
    word of the Lord, But shall not find it.

8
Bible is Food for the Soul
  • Israel ignored the will of God taken captive in
    Assyria
  • Judah failed to learn the lesson taken captive
    in Babylon
  • QUESTION Have we learned?

9
Bible is Food for the Soul
  • 2 Thessalonians 210-12 10 and with all
    unrighteous deception among those who perish,
    because they did not receive the love of the
    truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this
    reason God will send them strong delusion, that
    they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may
    be condemned who did not believe the truth but
    had pleasure in unrighteousness.

10
We are Vulnerable
  • Failure to know the will of God makes us
    vulnerable to false practices and doctrines
  • Atheism, Evolution
  • Denominational error, Premillennial teaching
  • Worldliness, Materialistic
  • We will be vulnerable to the immorality of our
    world

11
We Need God's Wisdom
  • Psalm 119 longest psalm every verse mentions
    the precepts, commands, word, law of God.
  • 11 Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I
    might not sin against You!
  • 104 Through Your precepts I get understanding
    Therefore I hate every false way.
  • 133 Direct my steps by Your word, And let no
    iniquity have dominion over me.
  • 97 Oh, how I love Your law! It is my meditation
    all the day.
