Thought For Today: “Standard Bearers of Faith”

In everything we do and say in this life, as believers in Jesus Christ we’re to not only be an example, but we are also to set an example for others to follow.

We live in a culture where no one takes responsibility, where celebrities and people in authority do and act irresponsibly setting bad and wrong examples and then have the audacity to say that they’re not to blame when others, including our children, follow their lead.

So, what are believers in Jesus Christ to do? We’re to be those standard bearers of God’s word to help right the ship that these others are sinking.

This is what the Apostle Paul basically told to Timothy.

In his first letter he said, “In speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity, show yourself an example of those who believe.” (1 Timothy 4:12)

And then in his second letter to Timothy Paul said, “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15)
