“Readers are Leaders”
The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments. 2 Timothy 4:13
“Readers are Leaders” It is a thoughtful statement. As learned as Paul was, he continued to read the Bible (Parchments) and books. This is a good example for us today. The Bible teaches us to continually grow spiritually, personally, relationally, and professionally. Reading is a good way to accomplish this. Make sure you are “especially” reading the Bible.
