But you, man of God, avoid all this. Instead, pursue righteousness, devotion, faith, love, patience, and gentleness. Compete well for the faith. Lay hold of eternal life, to which you were called when you made the noble confession in the presence of many witnesses. I charge [you] before God, who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus, who gave testimony under Pontius Pilate for the noble confession, to keep the commandment without stain or reproach until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ that the blessed and only ruler will make manifest at the proper time, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, and whom no human being has seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal power. Amen.REFLECTION
As one who loves to write, I can choose on quite a number of interesting topics that can generate additional income for readers on the internet. I have received numerous invitations to be an article or blog writer for a fee on subjects that these parties wanted me to write about. Instead, I kept on writing about my faith, regardless whether people will read it or not. I guess it gives me fulfillment and much satisfaction to write about my faith experiences and life’s journey with the Lord because if keeps me focused in competing well for my own faith.
Writing has been a very effective tool for me in keeping the faith. It became a habit and a practice that kept my heart and mind focused on the will of the Lord over my life each day. Once I fail to write about my God at any given day, it seems that my life is not complete.
I want to be complete and writing makes me compete well for the faith.
