Be An Example

In 1 Tim 4:12, Paul gives Timothy some very practical advice.  First of all, Paul says that Timothy should not be under pressure from people just because of his age.  Ability is not determined by age but availability to the Lord.  Paul then tells Timothy to conduct himself in three ways, in love, in faith and in purity.  Paul says Timothy, show people that you love them.  Show them your faith by the example of walking out and trusting God.  Lastly, show them a life of purity.  Be an example of Christ.  It is better to lead people than to drive them.  Christianity is better caught than taught.  We can take these three exhortations and apply them to our lives and what a difference they will make.  Your promises today are:  Psalm 28:7, 34:18, 147:3, Prov 4:23, 15:13 and Isaiah 30:15.  Your Insightful Sayings are:  When you are the temple of God you will never have a housing crisis.  Many leave their travelling arrangements for trips and vacations to the last minute but the one thing you should not leave to the last minute is your travelling arrangements for eternity.
