The Burning Bush 16/2 (July 2010) obedient only to his Lord and Saviour and His precious words, to the point that all the accolades, earthly accomplishments were but “dung” in comparison to preserving the truth amongst the remnant in the B-P Church. In the epistles of the Apostle Paul we see some of his co-workers deserting him, some to return to the world, and others committing acts of malice against him. We can only pray and hope that God will raise faithful church leaders who will forsake the things of the world for the sake of God’s truth. These are just some of my impressions after having taken this course. May God use these courses to raise faithful men and women to serve and stand for Him.

SON OF A MOTHER’S VOW Timothy Tow Text: 2 Timothy 1:5-9; 3:14, 15; 4:2-5 We have been hearing a series of messages on the Call of Christ. I am sure some young man or woman in this audience tonight has been touched by the testimonies given. If the Lord is calling you, He will keep on speaking in your heart. He will not give you peace until you say, “Yes, Lord, here am I, send me.” Tonight we want to learn from the call of young Timothy, Paul’s “dearly beloved son” in the faith, Paul’s successor. It was on Paul’s second missionary journey that he took Timothy, whose mother was a Jewess and a believer, but whose father was a Greek. This young man was “well-reported” by the Christian brethren of his city and beyond (Acts 16:2). Paul was strongly attracted to this young man, and enlisted him into the Lord’s army. From that time forward until Paul’s imprisonment in Rome, Timothy was Paul’s closest associate. He was one disciple most filial and loyal to his master and spiritual father from beginning to end. Perhaps Timothy was 35 years old and when he was left in charge of the church at Ephesus (1 Tim 4:12). Tradition says he became the first bishop of Ephesus, and was martyred in the reign of Emperor Domitian. Today we are also looking for young Timothys, who are loyal and steadfast in God’s service. We are recruiting a second echelon in our Bible-Presbyterian Church movement. I In Paul’s letters to Timothy, a portion of which we have just read, there is revealed to us as regards Timothy’s involvement in the Lord’s service a more profound and higher call than meets our eyes which is hidden in God’s plan “before the world began” (2 Tim 1:9). If you feel called tonight, this is no quick impulse from God or sudden reaction from 119
