Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. (1Tim 4:12)
When it came to the ingredient of modeling for the disciple and disciple-maker of Jesus, Paul expressed that its effectiveness as a tool is not limited by age. Even the young can set an effective, inspiring example of speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity, as any youth pastor can attest.
