Transcript of I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead,...
I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living
and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: 2 preach the word; be ready
in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete
patience and teaching.
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
2 a time to be born, and a time to die;a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;3 a time to kill, and a time to heal;a time to break down, and a time to build up;4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh;a time to mourn, and a time to dance;5 a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;6 a time to seek, and a time to lose;a time to keep, and a time to cast away;7 a time to tear, and a time to sew;a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;8 a time to love, and a time to hate;a time for war, and a time for peace.

days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near of
which you will say, “I have no pleasure in them
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and
mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), 3 “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.”
How are obedience and honor learned?

death. Proverbs 19:18

him.Proverbs 22:15
Discipline your son, and he will give you rest;
he will give delight to your heart.

Ecclesiastes 11:9-10Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, and let your
heart cheer you in the days of your youth. Walk in the ways of your heart and the sight of your
eyes. But know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.
10 Remove vexation from your heart, and put away pain from your body, for youth and the dawn of
life are vanity.
The message is to enjoy life, but remember…
Ephesians 5:22-25Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the
Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his
body, and is himself its Savior.24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should
submit in everything to their husbands.25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the
church and gave himself up for her,
It is a mistake to trade love for work at this time…

2 Timothy 4:6-8For I am already being poured out as a drink
offering, and the time of my departure has come. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have
finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me the
crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that
Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.
A crown waiting for those who keep the faith
Ecclesiastes 12:1-4Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years
draw near of which you will say, “I have no pleasure in them”; 2 before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars are darkened and the clouds
return after the rain, 3 in the day when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men are bent,
and the grinders cease because they are few, and those who look through the windows are
dimmed, 4 and the doors on the street are shut—when the sound of the grinding is low, and one rises
up at the sound of a bird, and all the daughters of song are brought low—
Ecclesiastes 12:5-75 they are afraid also of what is high, and
terrors are in the way; the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper drags itself
along, and desire fails, because man is going to his eternal home, and the mourners go
about the streets— 6 before the silver cord is snapped, or the golden bowl is broken, or
the pitcher is shattered at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern, 7 and the
dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
