Disciplined

Jer. 8
[7] Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but My people know not the judgment of the L-RD.
[All appointed times were centered on G-d’s holidays and the Hebrew calendar. To know the appointed times and seasons one must study the Feasts given and the dates they are to be celebrated.]
[8] How do ye say, we are wise, and the Law of the L-RD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made He it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.
[If it was not important to know the Laws it would not have been written down for us to learn and obey. Why one doesn’t: Eph. 4:18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of G-d through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart.]
[9] The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken; lo, they have rejected the Word of the L-RD; and what wisdom is in them?

Deut. 6
[7] And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
[How can one teach if they do not understand the Laws themselves; let alonge be forever on their tongues and minds? Ignorance will not get you through. Lev. 4:27 And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance, while he doeth somewhat against any of the commandments of the L-RD concerning things which ought not to be done, and be guilty. Guilty even though ignorance,]

2 Tim. 4
[1] I charge thee therefore before G-d, and the L-rd Y’Shua HaMashiach, who shall judge the quick and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom;
[2] Preach the word; be instant in season,and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
[Preach the word - It is not their own notions and fancies that they are to preach, but the pure plain word of G-d; and they must not corrupt it, but in sincerity, and in the sight of G-d.
Notice it says not only to give encouraging words as some would teach.
Tell people of their faults: reprove them, rebuke them with gravity and authority.
Exhort - encourage, and quicken those who began well, persuade them to hold on and endure to the end.
He must do it very patiently - with all long-suffering. If you do not see the effect of your labors presently, yet do not therefore give up the cause; be not weary of speaking to them.
With doctrine, in order to reduce them to good practices, instill into them good principles. Teach the truth; introduce them to a firm belief of the Word.]
[3] For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
[Wake up people! The time has been here for quite some time now. People don’t want sound doctrine and many have teachers that preach all the fluff to please their congregations. These teachers were of their own heaping up, and not of G-d’s sending, but they chose them to gratify their lusts and to please their itching ears.]
[4] And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
[G-d will give them up to those strong delusions, because they received not the truth in the love of it- 2 Th. 2:11, 12.]
[5] But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
[Watch - Be busy now, for it is seedtime. When the fields are white unto the harvest put in the sickle, for the present of opportunity will be soon over.
Endeavor, by dealing plainly with them, to bring them to repentance.
The office of the evangelist was to water, for the paster plants the seeds. they were not settled pastors, but for some time resided in and presided over till the place was settled under a standing ministry.
Everyone has their own ministry but it should all be for His purpose and His glory.]
