II Timothy 2:2 "And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also."
Paul is instructing a young preacher named Timothy, to teach the things that he has been taught to the faithful men in the church so that they may be able to teach others also. there is a word there that is key in this passage, the word "Faithful". He is not being instructed just to teach the men, but rather the "faithful" men. So what is a preacher to do when there are none that are being faithful? Who is he to teach? Who is going to help him be able to teach others also? We are seeing an epidemic of unfaithfulness in our churches today. We have men that are more faithful to fantasy football, hunting, golfing, and other events than they are to church and to the saviour who died for them. Where have all the faithful ones gone? We need men and women of God to be more faithful today than at any other time in our history. We are losing the our own generation to the world at a rapid rate and the next generation even faster. Encourage your pastor and your church - BE FAITHFUL, DON'T QUIT, DON'T DO LESS - DO MORE, BE FAITHFUL.
