12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose. 14 Do everything without grumbling or arguing, 15 so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky 16 as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain. Philippians 2:12-16

1In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: 2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. 3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. 5 But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry. 2 Timothy 4:1-5

As we grow up we think of knowledge as a key to happiness, because with it we get work and money, but if we go deeper we will understand the different problems that may exist in the world, and it seems that everything is lost and we can fall in a negative view of things. The Preacher was the wisest person that ever existed, but that wisdom has led him to pain; that pain is frustration, seeing that the world is not twisted and that is not going to change.

The word of today is more focused in the youth, but all people can learn and know more about it. First, to know better this I will give you a context, this is a letter from Paul to Timothy, and Timothy was a young. And as Paul to Timothy, God want to us the same; it doesn't matter your how many years you have. This message is like a recipe of God to us, of how to be good minister. At first he mentioned something to important, that we have nothing to do with those myths, fairy tales; it mean not only that greek myths or some things like it, it mean reject those vain words, those gossip that only they do, is chill our heart and dull our faith. In Second, compare to types of training; the fist one is the physical training, the physical training has it value, you can do better your job, and get less tire, and we need to care it; In 1 Corithians 6:19-20 says " Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies."

Certainly, there are many people who always think that as Christians we live a fantasy, that we do not see the problems, that all that faith is useless, because we continue the same or that Christians do good works to have salvation. However, it is not that a believer does not see or have problems, it is not that we do not know what it is to have difficulties; It's more because we are Christians we are going to have more problems, because the devil does not want us to follow God, he does not want us to make his word known and he will always look for how to make us fall, and deny the name of God.

Most of us, as children, were always taught that lying is wrong; And it's okay to be taught that as the sin that it is, but we are not taught that if we lie, that if we sin, we have to ask God for forgiveness first and foremost and show an act of repentance. We all make mistakes and many times we want to hide them, but we cannot act as if nothing had happened, as if we had not sinned. We are telling God a liar, pretending that we are free from sin for ourselves. This way of living sinning without asking Christ's forgiveness indicates that we have not learned from the gospel of Christ, that he who frees us from sin and gives us eternal life is not necessary.

I hope you rejoice in the Lord with today's word. In this passage of the Bible, we see that God tell us what kind of worker he is looking for. He say us, that his workers correctly handles the word of truth, that they keep far from the wordiness, must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. But the main point that we need to be diligent, constant in these things; day and night looking for work of Christ in your life and mine. And then God will use you to teach others his gospel, and the truth of God and the truth will set you free.
