Hi all,
I hope everyone read day one, we are now onto day 2. Please remeber to do all that is asked of us, read the scripture, write down some thoughts and write a prayer. I think it is a good idea for us all to journal through this, Will and I just grabbed some 3 ring notebooks to keep track in. Todays scripture is 2 Timothy 3: 1-17. Take some time today and read and write and if anyboday has any suggestions on our topic for Sunday, that would be great!

I think it would be interesting to discuss how each item should be incorporated in our life (i.e. breastplate of righteousness).
After reading 2 Tim 3:1-17, my prayer is for God to give me wisdom to acknowledge His truth as I go through each day and recognize/turn away from the pull of our culture whose primary focus is self-love and the pursuit of wealth/power/pleasure. It is so easy to get sucked into the material and lose focus. The small, everyday decisions are important.
What I get most from this passage is that we are here on earth not to please ourselves, our family, or others, but we are here to please God. We are given these "last days" as a gift from God and we are to make the most of them. I am thankful that God has blessed me with this time here on earth and would like to change some of my selfish ways to reflect what I have taken away from this message. Also, the study bible gave a very important point to me as well, which is that we are to build our character carefully because it will come out under stress! And that it is so tempting to love pleasure rather than God simply because Most pleasure can be obtained easily when love for God requires effort and sometimes sacrifice.
