So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart. (2 Timothy 2:22 ESV)
Youthful passions. Is it possible for people beyond their "youth" to pursue youthful passions? I would say yes
! What are youthful passions? Here is a short list:
- sexual immorality~everything from lustful looks to porn, to adultery, to illicit sex
- being quick to anger
- vengence
- you fill in the blank
We are to replace the items above with:
- righteousness,
- faith,
- love, and
- peace,
And we are to join those who call on the Lord from a pure heart. A big order? You bet it is, but only with God's sanctifying help can we do this! That is why we must call on the Lord.
