Ready Always

2Ti 4:2 "Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine."

Preach: public proclamation of the gospel and matters pertaining to it.
Instant: to be at hand; be ready
Season: opportunely; when the opportunity occurs
Out of Season: untimely; inopportune
Reprove: to convict; refute; confute; to find fault with; to correct; to chasten or punish
Rebuke: to adjudge; award in the sense of merited penalty
Exhort: to encourage; strengthen; instruct or teach
Longsuffering: patience; endurance; constancy; steadfastness; perseverance
Doctrine: teachings; instructions

We have 3 commands given:
1) Publicly proclaim the gospel
2) Be ready always
3) To correct, encourage, strengthen, comfort in all patience and perseverance in God’s teachings and instructions.

These are commands for all christians to follow. Are you ready?
