Working out

As I have mentioned here before, we have quite an international group now in Maastricht. This means that our worship time is translated from Dutch to English and vice-versa. But several of the young people, students and young professionals, wanted to organize a weekly time together to dig into the word of God together and invite their friends. This would be in English. 

So we have been able to meet the past month with these young people and have been looking into Paul’s letter to the young man, Timothy (1 Timothy). It has been exciting to see the desire of these young people to not only walk with God in their lives, trying to be good students, good colleagues and choosing to do what is right, but also to see their desire to learn from God’s word. 

1 Timothy has presented us with various examples of what they are experiencing in their daily lives as well. What do you do when you have a problem with a manager? How do you make things right when you have said something wrong? Which things are most important to speak about and how can we do that? How can we be an example? 

We are thankful for these young men and women and look forward to the coming weeks as well. As with many young people and professionals, it is not always easy to find a time to get together. But they struggle with that and find time. We are encouraged by their example. 

For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. This is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance.  1 Timothy 4:8-9
