Practical help

Paul’s charge to Timothy, his younger partner in ministry begins with an exhortation to be strong in grace. Grace is undeserved favor from God. For Christians, just as we are saved by grace, we can now live by grace, trusting completely in Jesus and His power, not trying to somehow live for Him in our own strength. His grace is sufficient for every moment and every need!

God’s plan for the expansion of His kingdom is for faithful followers to pass on the truth to other faithful followers who will in turn pass it on to other faithful followers…and so on. Faithful disciples are needed for the making of other faithful disciples. This generation’s work is not done until new believers are equipped to make disciples of others.

Porn is one of the things Satan uses to hinder and frustrate the expansion of God’s kingdom. The growing Christian stuck in a struggle with Web porn is less likely to effectively teach and disciple others in the truth. Porn use can take you out of the place of being used mightily by God to equip others as disciples of Christ.

Today, you will likely face temptation. Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. Walk in His grace, a faithful follower who is useful to Him in teaching others.
