Albany to preach at a church.
Story★★★★“What does it mean to preach?” he asked. ===◊ === A Good Start The first six years of a child/s life are the nwst crucial. ==�◊ === “It means to tell others about Jesus,” I replied. When I said the word ‘’Jesus,” his eyes widened, and he cupped his hand over his mouth.
“’Jesus,’” he whispered, “Mister, Don’t you know?” “Know what?” “That’s a cuss word.” It dawned on me that the only time this boy had ever heard the name Jesus was as a profanity in his home and in his neighborhood haunts.
Compare that little fellow’s history with the Apostle Paul’s description of Timothy’s upbringing: Now from childhood (from infancy-N1v), you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus (2 Timothy 3:15).
The point
A boy raised hearing only cursing by the name Jesus provides tragic contrast to Timothy, raised from infancy in Scripture and faith.
