2 Timothy 3:7
Some, who are always being instructed and can never arrive at a knowledge of the truth.
So, um, Paul, when you talk about “some” who are always being instructed and can never arrive at a knowledge of the truth, did you have someone in particular in mind? Did you, perhaps, have someone named Seth in mind? Because I do.
I love being a pastor for lots of reasons (and truthfully, just like your jobs, there are some things I don’t love so much – but that’s for another day). One of the things I love most about being a pastor is learning from people like you. I learn faith and trust from people on their death-beds. I learn hopefulness and a giving spirit from our Church Council. I learn joy from our children and our older adults.
The truth is, I keep learning these things. Because I need to be reminded. I need to keep being instructed. Oh, I know I’m learning and growing in my faith. God is doing things through me, just as God is doing things through you. But God still sends people to instruct me, every day. And for that, I’m thankful.
