Where Are the Timothys?
(Phl 2:19-21)
19 But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.
20 For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.
21 For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.
This generation is Truly the “Gilded Age” of the 21st Century…
All Seek Their Own…
What’s in it for me?
Self Promotion and Obsession with Self are the Objects most sought after.
What Happens in the World often seeks refuge, coming underneath the thresholds of the Door of the Church!
The Church is where we are mostly cleansed from the damning contaminations of this generation, and yet it is mostly and often not all.
Influences into our minds are the most difficult to cleanse.
Where Are The “Timothys?”
⁃ The Selfless
⁃ The Giving
⁃ The Loyal
If there was no reward or recognition how many Timothys would there be?
Every Pastor Needs a Timothy…
Who will stand with their Pastor and be “Likeminded” and Care for the state of your church…
(Likeminded) not your mind…
Paul indicated that “likemindedness” was Christ Minded…
⁃ Jesus Cared for the Church
⁃ Paul had the Care of the Church
⁃ Timothy was Likeminded as Paul
Where Are the Timothys?
