From Timothy, an Apostle of Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ

2 Timothy 2:22-26 (New International Version)


 22Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 23Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. 24And the Lord's servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. 25Those who oppose him he must gently instruct, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, 26and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.


I TIMOTHY 2:8-10: “I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting; in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing, but which is proper for women professing godliness with good works,”


PROVERBS 11:22: “As a ring of gold in a swine’s snout, so is a lovely woman who lacks discretion.”


I JOHN 2:16-17: “For all that is in the world -- the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life -- is not of the Father but of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.”

ROMANS 14:13: “Let us not judge one another anymore but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way.”

God's message to those who want to stand before him, be his people, and worsip him.

Jeremiah 7:9-11 ESV
Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, make
offerings to Baal, and go after other gods that you have not known, and
then come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name,
and say, ‘We are delivered!’—only to go on doing all these
...abominations?

Jeremiah 7:9-11
ESV
Has this house, which is called by my name, become a den
of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I myself have seen it, declares the Lord.

Leadership guide Bible passages

The Children of the Devil
 42Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me. 43Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. 44You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! 46Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe me? 47He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God."

Ezekiel 33:7- 8
7. Son of man, I have appointed you as a watchman for the people of Israel. Listen to what I say, and warn them for me.
8. If I say to the wicked, O wicked one, you shall surely die, and you do not speak to warn the wicked to turn from his way, that wicked person shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. 

Luke 16: 15
So Jesus said to them, "You try to justify your actions in front of people. But God knows what's in your hearts. What is favorable to men is disgusting to God.
