2 Timothy 2:15

Do the best you can do

Are we committed to doing your best?

Are you committed to giving God your best?

Sometimes you have to contend with survival on your way to success.

Study in this passage means apply yourself, presentation of self

We handle the Word corruptly or correctly-choose to handle it correctly

Not necessarily the product, but how you go about it.

Precision and accuracy in interpreting God’s word. Anything less is shameful.

Don’t engage in empty godless talking

Don’t engage in lust and giving in to flesh

Luke 2

Jesus is 12 and missing and found 4 days later in the temple

Jesus left with his parents and obeyed them. As a result Jesus grew in various ways.

Stand out and show what you got

Excellence is to greatly exceed average

Excellence is a commitment to do your best

Excellence won’t let you settle for mediocrity

Give it your best to outdo the rest

Excellence is not achieved by comparing yourself with others.

As I strive for excellence, don’t compare myself to nobody else.

2 Corinth 12

Comparison puts up roadblocks that set up standards not meant for us

Doing your best is more important than being the best
