Timothy's Faith and Heritage

I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience, as my forefathers did, as without ceasing I remember you in my prayers night and day, 4 greatly desiring to see you, being mindful of your tears, that I may be filled with joy, 5 when I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also. 6 Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

Not Ashamed of the Gospel

Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, 9 who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, 10 but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, 11 to which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.   12 For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day.

WORD TO PONDER:  FATHERS, COMMISSION YOUR SONS 6/27/08

Dear fathers, overcome your traditions and mindsets to embrace your true sons in the faith.  Refrain from using control and soul power to influence them, rather wait on Me and I will give you the provision in counting the cost to cover them. 

Fathers in the faith, love your sons.    Encourage them to stand strong in the faith and let no one look down upon them for their youth.  Encourage them to be examples in conduct, love, spirit, faith and purity. Remember them in your prayers, carry them in their tears and stir up their gifts that you have imparted into their lives.   I have given you charge to commission them into double portioned greater works.  Your joy shall overflow as you watch your children bloom!
