    “SHAMELESS!”2 Timothy 1:8-12

    Presented by

    Pastor Justin Greene

    January 12 21"

    In his sermon, Holding Fast to the Faith, Spurgeon says, “We must

    never hide our colours. There are times when we must dash to the front

    and court the encounter, when we see that our Captain’s honour

    demands it. Let us never e either ashamed or afraid. !ur Lord "esus

    deserves that we should yield ourselves as willing sacrifices in defence of

    his faith. #ase, reputation, life itself, must go for the name and faith of

    "esus. If in the heat of the attle our good name or our life must e

    ris$ed to win the victory, then let us say, %In this attle some of us must fall&

    why should not I' I will ta$e part and lot with my (aster, and ear

    reproach for his sa$e.’ !nly rave soldiers are worthy of our great Lord.

    Those who snea$ into the rear, that they may e comfortale, are not 

    worthy of the $ingdom...

    “#veryody admires Luther) *es, yes& ut you do not want any oneelse to do the same to+day. When you go to the oological -ardens

    you all admire the ear& ut how would you li$e a ear at home, or a

    ear wandering loose aout the street' *ou tell me that it would e

    unearale, and no dout you are right.

    “So, we admire a man who was firm in the faith, say four hundred

    years ago& the past ages are a sort of ear+pit or iron cage for him& ut

    such a man to+day is a nuisance, and must e put down. Call him a

    narrow+minded igot, or give him a worse name if you can thin$ of one.

    *et imagine that in those ages past, Luther, wingli, Calvin, and their

    compeers had said, %The world is out of order& ut if we try to set it right

    we shall only ma$e a great row, and get ourselves into disgrace. Let us

    go to our chamers, put on our night+caps, and sleep over the adtimes, and perhaps when we wa$e up things will have grown etter.’

    “Such conduct on their part would have entailed upon us a

    heritage of error. ge after age would have gone down into the infernal

    deeps, and the pestiferous ogs of error would have swallowed all.

    These men loved the faith and the name of "esus too well to see them

    trampled on. /ote what we owe them, and let us pay to our sons the

    det we owe our fathers.01 

    These powerful words echo the words of 2aul in 3 Timothy 1 ... Let’s

    ta$e a loo$.
