I think you are right, that fatherly charateristicstic gives us the will to push. That so describes Paul's relationship with Timothy. Thanks for your insight. Wow, great insight.

We need three kinds of relationships in our lives...1st a Paul as a mentor, 2nd a Barnabas as an encourager and lastly a Timothy as a mentee. Our choice of a Paul is both critical and difficult because he must not only be "apt to teach" but also one that is able and willing to PUSH us. The PUSH factor is huge...I have not seen that before. Paul said to the church, "you have many instructors but not many fathers." The father characteristic may be what gives a person the will to push us even when it may risk ruffling our feathers so to speak. Personally, I have many who teach but not any to push. Pray that I will find one. Great insight Mac. We need three kinds of relationships in our lives…1st a Paul as a mentor, 2nd a Barnabas as an encourager and lastly a Timothy as a mentee.
