2 Timothy 4:1-5
(1) I testify before God, and before Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead through his return and his kingdom (2) that you should preach the word urgently, in season and out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke, with all patience and doctrine (3) For there shall be a time when they will not endure sound doctrine, but instead, according to their own desires, they will gather to themselves teachers, with itching ears (4) and certainly, they will turn their hearing away from the truth, and they will be turned toward fables (5) But as for you, truly, be vigilant, laboring in all things. Do the work of an Evangelist, fulfilling your ministry. Show self-restraint
Psalms 37:3-6, 30-31
(3) For your arrows have been driven into me, and your hand has been confirmed over me (4) There is no health in my flesh before the face of your wrath. There is no peace for my bones before the face of my sins (5) For my iniquities have walked over my head, and they have been like a heavy burden weighing upon me (6) My sores have putrefied and been corrupted before the face of my foolishness
Matthew 5:13-16
(13) You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its saltiness, with what will it be salted? It is no longer useful at all, except to be cast out and trampled under by men (14) You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden (15) And they do not light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, so that it may shine to all who are in the house (16) So then, let your light shine in the sight of men, so that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father, who is in heaven
