Message

One of the greatest presidents America had was Theodore Roosevelt. A British historian described him as the ‘most bookish man’ since John Quincy Adams. On January 6, 1919, at his home in New York, Theodore Roosevelt died in his sleep. When they moved him from his bed, they found a book under his pillow. Up to the very last, he was still striving to learn and improve himself. He was a voracious reader. In today’s text, Paul unveiled the dos and don’ts of an expert in the things of God to young Timothy and by extension, the contemporary youth.

An expert is a person with a high degree of proficiency in a certain subject or skill. Paul admonished Timothy to charge his brethren to refrain from unprofitable talks that can lead to ungodliness. As a Christian youth whose desire is to experience the fullness of God, you must never allow yourself to be drawn away from the sure word of God. Rather, the Bible must be your instruction manual and compass. This is the secret of an expert in divine things.
