A Mere Sermon on 95-Disputations on 1 Timothy 4:12 and the Jesus-Honor of Excellence in Christian Example (in Latin the latter is "Jesus honoris excellentiam exemplum Christianum")

1 Timothy 4:12 KJV

Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

"...You must remember we are all creatures of imitation: precept may teach us, but it is example that draws us. There is that in us all, that we are always disposed to catch the ways of those with whom we live; and the more we like them, the stronger does the disposition grow. Without our being aware of it, they influence our tastes and opinions; we gradually give up what they dislike, and take up what they like, in order to become closer friends with them. And, worst of all, we catch their ways in things that are wrong far quicker than in things that are right. Health, unhappily, is not contagious, but disease is. It is far easier to catch a chill than to impart a warmth; and to make each other's religion dwindle away, than grow and prosper..." (J.C. Ryle, Thoughts for Young Men).

Work, for the night is coming;
Work through the morning hours;
Work while the dew is sparkling;
Work 'mid springing flowers;
Work while the day grows brighter,
Under the glowing sun;
Work for the night is coming,
When man's work is done.
Work for the night is coming,
Work through the sunny noon;
Fill brightest hours with labor,
Rest comes sure and soon;
Give ev'ry flying minute
Something to keep in store;
Work for the night is coming,
When man works no more.
Work for the night is coming,
Under the sunset skies,
While their bright tints are glowing,
Work, for daylight flies;
Work till the last beam fadeth,
Fadeth to shine no more;
Work while the night is dark'ning,
When man's work is o'er.   (TH, 728).

1.)  Sometimes Christians may despise youth in Christian ministry, because fallen Lucifer began his ministry with a youthful creation by God with great authority and power but rebelled.

2.)  Not every youthful Christian ought to be despised in Christian ministry, because Spurgeon started four years after his born again experience in  preaching the written Word of God.  I was suppose to be training for the eldership at 15 similar to John Wesley because he was a servant before a son, but I am praying that after about 10 years of knowing the Lord in full-time Internet ministry I will be able to become a everyday preacher/elder at the church pulpit.

23.)  All of Scripture is infallible and as if God Himself spoke it to us like the red words of Jesus Christ in the New Testament Gospel-Scriptures.

26.)  Do not let the sins of body allow you to continue in a type of permission to struggle with sin.

27.)  Do not let the sins of the eyes corrupt your mind and allow sin to be apart of living out of storm-set Christian life due to on-going commission of sin.

28.)  Do not let the sins of the eyes control your mind and allow sin to be apart of mind-bending agony while you sin to abound in God's corrective judgment unto a better Christian testimony.

71.)  For the Christian example good is Jesus, but we surely can do nothing to add to His matchless robes of merit in set apart righteousness alone by faith alone.

84.)   A female example is like a woman with angel wings who does all the good she can to reflect the sole imputed unified righteousness of Christ alone.

85.)  A Christian example is running to war for Jesus to perish death in the lake of doom for the glory of Jesus unto a life of peace by His Spirit and Word.

94.)  An example is about the Jesus passion.

95.)  Little children, be an example for Jesus in all things because Jesus is there in His outstretched arms at the Cross where He awaits to embrace His astray children who are sheep that need washing, cleansing, forgiveness and the love of transcendent compassion that this fallen world first knew in Jesus Christ as God's divine Son of Man who saves elect sinners to the uttermost for the glory of His mercy alone. 

Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave, and follow thee;
Destitute, despised, forsaken,
Thou from hence my all shalt be:
Perish ev'ry fond ambition,
All I've sought, or hoped, or known;
Yet how rich is my condition,
God and heav'n are still my own.
Man may trouble and distress me,
'Twill but drive me to thy breast;
Life with trials hard may press me,
Heav'n will bring me sweeter rest:
O 'tis not in grief to harm me
While thy love is left to me;
O 'twere not in joy to charm me,
Were that joy unmixed with thee.
Take, my soul, thy full salvation,
Rise o'er sin and fear and care;
Joy to find in ev'ry station
Something still to do or bear;
Think what spirit dwells within thee,
What a Father's smile is thine,
What a Saviour died to win thee:
Child of heav'n, shouldst thou repine?
Haste then on from grace to glory,
Armed by faith, and winged by prayer;
Heav'n's eternal day's before thee,
God's own hand shall guide thee there.
Soon shall close thy earthly mission;
Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days;
Hope soon change to glad fruition,
Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.  (TH, 593).
