I. Timothy's Parcntago (Acts 10:1).
His father was a (Ircek and his
mother u bellevln; .lew ess. On his
mother's bide nt ha.-t, be had a godly
ancestry. Usually the mother makes
the son. Two generations of maternal
pious - grandmothers were back of
Timothy. How thankful we ought to
be to God for a godly ancestry.
Christian heredity and training con
stitute the essential elements for a
Christian life.
II. Timothy's T?ainlnfl (II Tim.
1:5 j II Tim. 3:14-10).
His wise and faithful mother nnd
grandmother carefully nurtured him
In God's Word. He knew tho Scrip
tures from his childhood through their
training. The fnlth which came to
him from his grandmother through his
mother did not come through the laws
of heredity, but through careful train
ing and tenchlng. Grace Is not rea
soned by the laws of heredity. Tho
factors Involved In his training were
godly ancestors, a Christian home, and
u diligent study of tho Scriptures.
III. Timothy's Call (Acts 10:1-3).
While on Paul's second missionary
Journey In company with SIlus, Tim
othy was found at Lystra near Derbe.
Perhaps ho had been converted on
Paul's first missionary Journey, but
hearing n favorable report of hlin by
the brethren, Paul took and circum
cised him so us not to offend the
Jews, becnuse his father wus n Greek.
This was not contrary to the decision
of the Jerusalem council. It was a
ense where conciliation could be made
without compromise of truth. From
this time to tho end of Paul's life, ho
and Timothy were boon companions.
They were as n loving father and a
dutiful son.
IV. Timothy's Character Reticent
1. Of u Retiring Disposition. II
Tim. 1 :C. Timothy had received a gift
from God at the hands of the apostle,
but It needed to be stirred up, that Is,
fanned into n (lame. Such a tempera
ment would muture In touch with a
great personality like Paul. It Is high
ly Important that everyone store up
the gift which God has given unto him.
2. Courageous. II Timothy 2:1-8.
Having been stirred up, he was freed
from the spirit of fear and deliberately
Identified himself with Paul In his
sufferings nnd trial. Courage Is great
ly needed In doing the Lord's work.
3. Faithful. Ho tnrrlcd In the dim
cult field of HphcMis through many
years. He wns the only man of tho
needed fidelity to minister to the Phil
ippine. (Phlllpplan.s 2:20). The se
cret of his faithfulness In such a posi
tion was his fidelity to the Word of
God.
V. Timothy's Ministry.
1. As n fellow-nilsslonary with Paul.
(Phil. 2:22).
2. As pastor of n church at Hplicsus.
Here he labored for many years tnct
fully meeting the difficulties of that
great church. The Christian minister
should believe In the Scriptures ns
God's Word nnd be able to rightly di
vide It so as to meet the needs of
those who hear him. This Is the only
wuy to meet the dltllcultlcs that arise
In tho pastor's labors.
All Due to Christianity.
Wo llvo In tho midst of blessings,
till we are utterly Insensible of their
greatness, and of the sourco from
which they How. We speak of our
civilization, our arts, our freedom, our
!aws, and forget entirely how large a
jlmro of all Is duo to Christianity.
Blot Christianity out of the pngo of
man's history, nnd what would his
Iowa hno been? what his civiliza
tion? Christianity Is mixed up with
our very being nnd our dally llfo;
there Is not a fumlllar object round
us which docs not wear its murk, not
a being or-ii thing which does not
wear a different aspect, because tho
light of Christian hopo Is on It, not
n law which does not owo Its truth
and gentleness to Christianity, not a
custom which cannot bo traced, In all
Its holy and healthful parts, to tho
Gospel.
Responsibilities.
Itesponstbilltles gravitate to the
person who can shoulder them and
power flows t tho man who knows
how. Hubbard.
Avoid Making, Enemies.
Thoso whom you cannot mnko
friends of, avoid making enemies.
