Faithful Mentorship
Mentorship is often associated with passing along skills, experience, or practical wisdom. But according to the apostle Paul, faithful Christian mentorship begins much deeper, with lives transformed by God's grace. Examining Paul’s relationship with Timothy, Alistair Begg highlights the qualities that characterize both godly mentors and teachable disciples, reminding us that growing faith, genuine concern for others, and humble kindness are essential for helping the next generation follow Christ.
All Scripture Is Breathed Out by God
10pYou, however, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness, 11my persecutions and sufferings that happened to me qat Antioch, rat Iconium, and sat Lystra—which persecutions I endured; yet tfrom them all uthe Lord rescued me. 12Indeed, all who desire to vlive a godly life in Christ Jesus wwill be persecuted, 13while xevil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and ybeing deceived. 14But as for you, zcontinue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom1 you learned it 15and how afrom childhood you have been acquainted with bthe sacred writings, cwhich are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16dAll Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17that ethe man of God2 may be complete, fequipped gfor every good work.
