Philippians 2:22-24
22 But you know how Timothy has proved himself. Like a son with his father, he has helped me in preaching the Good News.
23 I hope to send him to you just as soon as I find out what is going to happen to me here.
24 And I have confidence from the Lord that I myself will come to see you soon.
(NLT)
Each generation needs to mentor the next generation in preaching the Good News. Each man and woman needs to mentor not only their own children but also other children, teenagers and young adults. Paul took Timothy under his wing and continued the discipleship process that began with his mother and grandmother. You can read all the books you want on how to do practically anything but until you actually do it the information you have read is useless. Experience coupled with knowledge and wisdom produces true growth. We can read the Bible all we want, know every verse by heart but if we do not do what the Bible says to do every day the information in our heads is useless. God wants to take you on a journey. Like Paul and Timothy, God wants to continue your discipleship process and He will use others in your life to guide you where He wants you to go and what He wants you to do. We need to experience Jesus so that we can help the next generation experience Jesus.
