You ever talk to someone and say: Hey Sally! Would you like to go to church with me? She would say: I don’t think so the church would fall in! I’d say but you go to the grocery store, your not afraid of it caving in! Right? does it ever fall in. When you eat the food do you ever cave or crave more? A church don’t cave when someone walks through the door. When you walk in a church, you are walking into a new life that you get used to and wonder why you never walked through the door before. I got this from a friend from church who felt this way.
But it is true. If you are afraid of giving money, if this is what scares you then you really don’t know. Because a church works together for the good of everyone. People volunteer, work, donate and live to grow their new home in Christ! In a household it can not be run by one person! It can! But if there is several people in the household and no one helps that one person, that n=home becomes a disaster, bills don’t get paid, the yard looks like a jungle! The home just isn’t a home with no giving there is no real living.
(1 Timothy 4:9-14)
1 Timothy 4:9-10 {This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation. For therefore we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, specially of those that believe.}
(Who is Paul talking about? Lord sent Jesus to walk the earth in His image for our sins and also to know that The Lord loved us so much that He would die for our sins.
1 John 2:1-3 ” 1 John 2:1-3 (KJV)My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. “Trust”: Believers are saved in trust and live and serve in light of that trust of eternal life.)
1 Timothy 4:11 {These things command and teach.}
God Knew we would sin, He also knew we would learn to walk right with Him.
1 Timothy 4:12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. {“Let no man despise thy youth”: Greek culture placed great value on age and experience. Since Timothy was in his thirties, still young by the standards of that culture, he would have to earn respect by being a godly example. Because he had been with Paul since a young teenage, Timothy had much experience to mature him, so that looking down on him because he was under 40 was inexcusable.}
I see children that have grown up, that I have been blessed to watch them grow as I have faithfully gone to church, other than being ill at times. But to see them baptize others in the church. God this is a joy that makes my heart smile. No words can express.
I love this song.
The song “Love Is Spoken Here” shows the strength of a mother’s prayer as seen by her child.
I see my mother kneeling with our family each day.
I hear the words she whispers as she bows her head to pray.
Her plea to the Father quiets all my fears,
And I am thankful love is spoken here.
(A mother’s prayer is that her children will grow up and be Christ to others)
1 Timothy 4:13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
Christianity is truth, learning to walk right to what actually exists in the universe. Upon these positions is based the Christian concept of academic freedom. All truth is God’s truth and if and if Christianity is true to what is actually there, then the Christian can pursue truth without the fear of conclusive denial.
1 Timothy 4:14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery {a body of Church elders and ministers, especially (in Presbyterian Churches) an administrative body (court) representing all the local congregations of a district}.
Sorry about no live video. I have been having technical issues.

At the voice of thy cry; when He shall hear it, He will answer thee.
