An Unashamed Workman
2 Timothy 2:14-19

What are you most ashamed of in life? We have all done things that we wish could be taken back, and if we had the opportunity, we would do it differently the next time. Everyone has something that they are ashamed of, no matter how trivial. I think that it is ok to be ashamed of things in life that aren’t becoming of a believer, for I would want to undo some of the bad choices I have made. It is one thing to be ashamed of bad decisions, but a completely different thing to be ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Remember, if we deny Him, He will deny us. Let us not be ashamed of the gospel.

Characteristics of the unashamed workman
1. Does not argue over useless words (v. 14)
2. Diligently handles the word of Truth with accuracy (v. 15)
3. Avoid worldly and empty talks (v. 16)
4. Is known by God and abstains from wickedness (v. 19)
