“Stir up the gift of God, which is in you” (2 Tim 1:6)

Apostle Paul’s advice to Timothy was that Timothy was not doing the best possible with his life. He was not making the most of the grace of God that was in him. The fire needs to be stirred up so that it may blaze and flame and send out heat and light. In Timothy’s heart, the blessings of God’s grace were smoldering too quietly, and needed to be stirred up. Many young Christians need the same counsel. They are good, honest, truthful, and faithful, in many ways—but they are not doing their best. They must live much more earnestly and be much more significant in their God given Calling.

NEXT C.L.I.M.B.

An acronym for “Challenge Learning In Ministry of Business”. “Ministry of Business” refers to the idea of applying Christian principles and a service-oriented mindset to business practices, essentially viewing one’s career as a way to serve others and further God’s kingdom.
