Hallelujah, praise the living God for another day to pray for you all and be used by Him. Today I offer these lines from John Berridge.

“Avoid all controversy in preaching, talking, or writing; preach nothing down but the devil, and nothing up but Jesus Christ.”

2 Timothy 2:16
New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁶ But avoid worldly and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness,

Heavenly Father, in the name of our Lord Jesus, Your servant praises and worships You.  Bless You, for giving us the words of life and truth and for warning us to avoid any other empty chatter. Empower us to follow these instructions from a heart of hope and joy for all the grace and love You have shown us. Praise Your faithfulness and steadfast love. Thank You for the new hearts that desire to do Your will. Your words give us a glorious and worthwhile purpose here on earth. Help us to stick to Your plan that leads to abundant life with our Lord, Jesus Christ, You our heavenly Father, and Your Holy Spirit. Father, we thank You that You have heard us. Amen in Jesus’ name and by the power of the Holy Spirit.
