2 Timothy 2:14-19

October 16, 2016 • Kurt Pressler

There is an old story preachers love to tell about a guy who is seeking guidance for his life. Not knowing where to turn, he picks up a Bible, opens it to a random page, and points his finger on a verse. It lands in Luke 15:16 on the parable of the Prodigal Son which says, “and he was longing to be fed with the pods that the pigs ate.” Not fully convinced that this was God’s will for his life, he flipped some pages, pointed his finger, and read Luke 10:37, which says, “You go, and do likewise.” Still dissatisfied, he tries one more time, and landing on John 13:27 and reading, “What you are going to do, do quickly.”

I don’t know about you, but goodbyes are particularly difficult for me. My wife and I are in the process of saying goodbye to something. We’ve been spending a lot of time with our girls, trying to make as many memories as we can because we are saying goodbye to our family four. Soon we will be a family of five. Our son is due any day now.
