2 Timothy 2:15 (NLT)
Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth.
"Maybe the gospel of Jesus, in other words, is all about our relationship with Jesus rather than about our ideas. And perhaps our lists and formulas and bullet points are nice in a sense that they help us memorize different truths, but harmful in the sense that they blind us to the necessary relationship that must begin between God and ourselves and God for us to become his followers. And worse, perhaps our formulas and bullet points and steps steal the sincerity with which we may engage God.”
- Donald Miller (Searching for God Knows What)
