Wedding of Chris Hanekom & Rebekka Stegen
2 Timothy 2
22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Louis Harms tells of a young couple who wanted God’s blessing above all else, and they received untold hardships, but also untold blessings.
When we see how these people put Jesus first – before marriage, career, wealth and even life itself – it should move us to fully follow Jesus with all our hearts and propagate His Gospel. They truly obeyed this word to flee youthful lusts and God could use them in propagating His Gospel.
Those that don’t obey this word to flee youthful lusts, are heathen, even though they’re in church, they’re church heathen.
To flee youthful lusts, you must pursue righteousness, and be in earnest to do it.
Be in the company of those who do the same and are pure of heart.
Youthful lusts are not only sexual sins, but pride, haughtiness, flippancy, etc.
The Bible says in the last days people will have an appearance of godliness, but denying the power thereof. If you are such, repent!
