Circuit Rider Letter
May 2013
by Pastor John DiGiamberardino
From the Pastor’s Desk
“I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you,
which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice,
and I am persuaded is in you also.”
II Timothy 1:5
Paul and Timothy were great friends. They shared a common mission together, telling other people about Jesus. They traveled together. They had a lot of time to get to know each other. When you read through Acts 16 to the end of the book, you realize they shared a lot of ministry experiences together.
Timothy had a genuine faith. How did Timothy learn about God? Who taught him? Who discipled him? What examples of faith were before him? Where does such faith come from?
For Timothy it seems his faith started when he was a child. He received faith from God but he witnessed genuine faith in two women, his mother and grandmother. Timothy’s mother, Eunice and grandmother Lois, were strong believers in Christ Jesus. From childhood we are told, Timothy learned the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. His mother and grandmother taught him the Bible! There is nothing more important than teaching children the Word of God.
