Here lie the bones of Nancy Jones:
For her, life held no terrors.
She lived an old maid, she died an old maid:
No hits, no runs, no errors.
–C.C. Mitchell
1 Timothy 3:8-16
“There are a great many people who think the faith is outmoded and needs to be changed. An editorial in one of our national magazines several years ago supported this idea by suggesting an updated list of the ‘seven deadly sins.’ Their new list included selfishness, intolerance, indifference, cruelty, violence and destructiveness. The list replaced lust, of course, with prudery.”
–Dr. J. Vernon McGee, Edited Messages on First Timothy
1 Timothy 4:6-16
Oh let me know the power of the resurrection.
Oh let me show Thy risen life in calm and clear reflection.
Oh let me give out of the gifts Thou freely gavest.
Oh let me live with life abundantly because Thou livest.
–Frances Ridley Havergal
1 Timothy 5:19—6:21
“My father believed in the laying on of hands, and, believe me, he really laid them on.”
–Attributed to Dr. A.W. Tozer
