2T22
2 Timothy 2:2 - "...and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who be able to teach others also."
When I think about this verse in relation to my life, I like to put it in even simpler terms. Basically this verse is telling me to snap the ball in my life. No matter what I may think I can accomplish on my own, or how wonderful my life with Christ will be separate from others, I am called to trust others to carry out the spreading of the gospel as well. I bring this matter up at this time because I just began a new leg of my life, and it's one where I am indeed trusting another faithful man to teach others.
Today Kyle Pierpont moved into my office. Well, no longer is it my office, but it is sort of the new youth hub of Grace Church of Granger. Kyle and I are serving a dual internship working with our youth group for the upcoming months. This transition into a co-pastorlike role has made me think an awful lot about myself, in terms of both strengths and weaknesses.
You see, I'm a very competitive dude. I like to win at whatever I do. But as Kyle became more and more a part of our ministry, I found that I have the power, the authority, and the ability to put aside my competitive tendencies for the greater calling of my Father in Heaven.
In one day's time, Kyle and I have been thinking, talking, and praying about where we feel God wants to lead this youth ministry and how we can best be a catalyst for that to happen. We meet with Pastor Rick and Alan on Wednesday to talk details, but we are so pumped to get this thing rolling. Granted, we know that there will be times we might collide and bump heads a bit, but as long as we keep our priorities in line, we will always do one thing...
...2T22..."entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also."
His, now and forever,
Bobby
