IMITATE THEIR FAITH/TIMOTHY - "HE WAS WELL-REPORTED-ON BY THE BROTHERS"

 As mentioned earlier, Paul's next visit probably came two or three weeks later. Picture the excitement in Timothy's household when Paul arrived, this time accompanied by Silas. It was surely a joyful time for Paul too.  He could see for himself what had come from the seeds of truth that had been sown in Lystra. There were Lois and Eunice, her daughter, now loyal Christian women, full of the "unhypocritical faith" that Paul so admired. (2 Timothy 1:5) And what of young Timothy?
