2 Timothy 2:14
Keep reminding them of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen.
Reflection
In this verse Paul wants Timothy to keep before the Christians that he leads the reality that fruitless activities, such as quarreling, will not lead them toward being mature and grown up in the faith. Timothy is encouraged to warn Christians to stay away from behaviors that reinforce immaturity. Paul wants Christians to forsake this kind of behavior and embrace mature expressions of the faith.
What behaviors have you noticed that tend to keep us from developing maturity in the faith? On the other side of the coin, what behaviors have you noticed that help us to grow deeper and more mature in the faith?
