2 Timothy 4:1-5 - Audio

Paul is drawing his emotional letter to his dear "son in the faith", Timothy to a close. He now charges him to "preach the Word", realizing that as time marches on in these last days, people will become less open to hearing the challenging truth of God's Word, but will instead "heap up for themselves teachers" who will tell them what they want to hear. Christians stand in that difficult place of needing to share God's truth--sometimes hard to hear--with love to a world that is less interested than ever to hear it. May be we persistent and loving in pressing on to "fulfill our ministry"
