Grace for your spirit January 25, 2013


Grace for your spirit
For I am mindful of the sincere faith within you which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am sure it is in you as well.  II Timothy 1:5

Some of us who were raised in tradition of regular Bible studies, can take Bible knowledge for granted.  We may have learned of the great stories of faith before we were out of grade school. Stories of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, the judges, kings, and prophets.  These helped form the faith within us instilled by our parents and teachers.  Timothy had it, and we may, but it is few and far between.  The other day I mentioned the story of Jonah to some men to make a point, and was surprised to hear that they never heard that story.  Let's not assume anything including the sacrifice of Christ.  Let's get into the word and make it come alive.
