II Timothy 4

Paul ends this letter to his friend and "son" Timothy with a final charge to " preach the word".

There is nothing more important! Sound teaching from the inspired Word of God is the only source of Truth that we can absolutely rely on.  Be ready, be prepared, and keep true to God's Word, no matter what.

Paul is able to say this, " I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith."

These words sum up his life from the time he met Jesus on the road to Damascus.

Lord of heaven and earth, let these words be true of us also.  Lead us into the fullness of Your love and the steadfastness of Jesus Christ, I pray.  Amen.
