As Paul finishes his letter to his young protege about several individuals and the challenge that they bring as Paul encourages Timothy to come to him quickly! 

Paul is going to issue a challenge to this young pastor! It is a challenge for us all! 

If you were to ask people on the street, are the days that we live in better?  Most of them would probably say yes, but what does the Bible say about the days that we live in? 

If we are going to be Next Up, what should our lives look like? 

How does a Christian who understands that they are next up live a life that is strong? 

As Paul starts this love filled letter to Timothy, he encourage him with some commands because he is up next!
