In 1987, when things were tense at FBC and we weren’t being fed by what we heard from the pulpit, I loved listening to Dr. Louis Zbinden, longtime pastor of First Presbyterian. His sermons were on the radio from 8-9 on Sunday mornings while I drove downtown. One day he said, “It must have been hard for Timothy to give his testimony after Paul had given his. After telling the dramatic story of a blinding light, hearing Jesus’ voice from heaven, a command to present himself in humility to someone who feared him, and experiencing a miraculous healing, Paul had his listeners enthralled. Then Timothy would get up and say, ‘My mother and grandmother introduced me to Jesus.’ But God is just as delighted by a Timothean testimony as he is by a Pauline one.” Wise words!
A friend of mine used to say, “I pray for my kids to have boring testimonies.” A “boring” Timothean testimony is a beautiful thing!
