2 Timothy 2:23 Have nothing to do with stupid and senseless controversies; you know that they breed quarrels.
Usually I use this space to try to provide a little hope and good news for your morning. Today instead we're going to provide a little bit of advice. Ancient advice. But simple advice. The book of the Bible 2 Timothy was written to Timothy who was learning to be a pastor by some older and more experienced mentor. Lots of it is advice about how to be a leader and an example of Christian faith. This verse is no exception: "Have nothing to do with stupid and senseless controversies; you know that they breed quarrels."
So stupid and senseless controversies must have been a part of church life 2000 years ago. And they must have been a part of business life, and civic life, and political life, and family life. Hmmmm... Not much has changed in 2000 years has it? Stupid and senseless controversies are all around.
I'd like to invite you today to join me in having nothing to do with them. Walk away. Choose a higher road. Focus your mind and your heart on things that matter. You never know! God might have something better in store for you.
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
