Introduction
Timothy, the recipient of the two New Testament letters bearing his name was the son of a Greek father and a Jewish mother. Paul addressed him as “my true son in the faith”. He was probably in his late teens/early twenties when he joined Paul but had already distinguished himself as faithful, and the elders noticed him.
When Paul came preaching Christ, all three accepted his teaching and committed their lives to the Saviour. We too must prepare our children to be ready when Christ moves in their hearts. They must know how to recognise that pull on their spirits as coming from the Saviour, and the only way to do that is teaching our children the word of God
