I Timothy 4:12

I Timothy 4:12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Usually we think that the older people should be examples to the younger people. Those who have been saved for a long time should be more faithful to church; They should have their tempers under control because they have been at it for a long time. The older folk should be the Sunday School teachers and the song leaders. But that isn’t what our verse for today says. Paul told young Timothy that he was to be an example to the older church members, and Paul was right! Isn’t it refreshing to see young people leading in the church?! Isn’t it great to see young people who love the Lord and want to serve Him?! A younger generation who loves God is an encouragement to the entire congregation! Their excitement is contagious and an example to everyone! I am glad for faithful adults, but I am more excited about faithful teens! How refreshing! What a great example to everyone! Christian teenagers leading for the Lord!
