When we look around at the world and politics and our society today, we wonder what's going on. Nothing has changed from Timothy's day. But we have hope because the gospel is so powerful, and it shows us how to be faithfully effective in our church and our world today.

Maybe you feel that the task you've been called to is a little too big for you, as it might have been for Timothy. You may have a difficult family situation or a physical illness, and yet God wants you to do something. How can you do it?
