1 Timothy 4
[h=3][/h][SUP]12 [/SUP]Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit,[SUP][b][/SUP] in faith, in purity. [SUP]13 [/SUP]Till I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. [SUP]14 [/SUP]Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership. [SUP]15 [/SUP]Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all. [SUP]16 [/SUP]Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.
Just needed a reminder, and thought those other "young" folks out there might need one too. It is not about a person's physical age. it's not about KNOWING more than another. It's not about being seen as RIGHT.
It about living a life that glorifies God at whatever age or state you are in. It is about doing the things that are right and true and faithful even when those you try and help are thankless, and view you as ignorant, self righteous, unqualified or just too young.
anyway I'd love some encouragement, prayers, scripture and advice.
What do you do when your elders are WRONG?
[h=3]1 Timothy 5[/h]New King James Version (NKJV)
5 Do not rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father, younger men as brothers, [SUP]2 [/SUP]older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, with all purity.
sometimes I forget that all you have to do is pray and keep reading
God bless and keep you.
