2:14-24) but don’t present hoops to jump through
• Do you see changes in their life (1 Timothy 4:15)
• Are they taking initiative (Acts 8:26-39)

going nowhere?• If someone is willing to get together and
study the Word of God then don’t stop in most cases

What if someone wants to keep studying but doesn’t take it
seriously?• Challenge them directly but with
gentleness and respect• Study out their issue• Change your methods• Be patient
