Today we are reading 2 Timothy 1. In this chapter we read about Paul’s encouragement to Timothy. “I thank God whom I serve, as did my ancestors, with a clear conscience, as I remember you constantly in my prayers night and day. As I remember your tears, I long to see you, that I may be filled with joy. I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well. For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” 2 Timothy 1:3-7 ESV Notice how Paul traces Timothy’s spiritual lineage. Where does your Christian heritage begin? Who are your spiritual descendants? May God bless you to be fruitful and multiply spiritually! Pastor Tim
