3. Second Timothy 3:14-15 But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

4. Second Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

5. Dare to be Different

6. Romans 12:2; First Peter 2:9 First Corinthians 9:22 It’s all about our goal: We are like the world only in ways that draw people closer to Christ. When the world is ungodly and sinful, we are different! How Do I Balance These?
