In 1:18, Paul says "Timothy, my son, I am giving you this command."
In 2:1, he begins by saying, "I urge..."
Why the difference? There's a big difference between commanding and urging. If a police officer commanded you to pull over, it's very different from urging you to pull over. Urging is encouraging - is that the same root? It probably is. Commanding is telling.

1 Timothy 2:1a Prayer 1. Is Urged

I am so proud of every one of my kids and grand-kids, but I have regrets. One of those regrets is that I have not been able to pour my life experience into them the way I would have liked to. What if I could spend just five minutes with each of them, every day? What would we talk about? What experiences would I share with them? What “wisdom” could I pass on to them? How would I tell them that I see the world?

With this blog, I hope to be able to do that.
