1. Depart from iniquity.

2. Find pure-hearted people.

3. Pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with them.

Here are two verses that are critically important in this modern era:

"The solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: 'The Lord knows those who are his,' and 'Let everyone who names the same of Christ depart from iniquity.'" (2 Tim. 2:19, Orthodox Study Bible)

"Flee also youthful lusts, but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart." (2 Tim. 2:22, OSB)

The reason these verses are critically important today are apparent with a little consideration. With thousands of Protestant denominations claiming to be scripturally accurate, and the Catholics and the Orthodox claiming traditional authority over your faith, many are confused.

Nonetheless, the solid foundation of God stands. It has not disappeared. You have a simple charge from him. God knows his own, but you ... you depart from iniquity.

Secondly, with whom should you be fellowshipping? Since the first century it has been true that you should pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart. They exist. Find those. You will probably never find the answer to your prophecy and end-time questions with them. You may never find a church that satisfies you in this era, though I hope you do. You can, however, grow in righteousness, faith, love, and peace with people who have pure hearts.
