PASSAGE: A Workman Approved by God
MEMORY VERSE: "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in faith, and in purity." 1 Timothy 4:12
NOTES: (v.3) "Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No one serving as a soldier gets involved in civilian affairs--he wants to pleace his commanding officer. Similarly, if anyone competes as an athlete, he does not receive the victor's crown unless he competes according to the rules."
(v.14) "Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen...Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly."
(v.22) "Flee the evil desires of the youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. And the Lord's servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful."
ACT OF LOVE: Today, while getting lunch, the people around me and in front of me were extremely mean to the lunch lady, and called her some pretty bad names. I felt super sorry for her, especially since she's a petite Asian granny with poor English. I tried to treat her with respect and a good attitude, and made sure to thank her. In addition, I maintained a happy and respectful attitude towards my counselors and the people working at the Records Office at El Camino, because it seems like they can really get a lot of crap from students who are just plain mean.
