2 Timothy - 2020

2 Timothy 1:1-7
July 26, 2020
The value of this letter for us is that it shows Paul's heart is all for God while in impossibly difficult conditions. Paul is an inspiration by his example and not just by his words. We also see the heart of a man who fears for the future of the church—a church he would shortly give his life for…

It is sadly ironic that many Christians are ashamed of their Savior. They wouldn’t it characterize it that way, of course, but the truth is that if we aren’t active, visible Christians, if we are unwilling to share our faith even with those who may be violently opposed to Christ, we are ashamed...

"Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David. This is how and why we persevere. We remember Jesus. Remembering is a great thing to practice.

There is only one way to stand in this wicked world, one way to stand against the forces of evil—the Word of God! You have to be convinced of and obedient to the Word of God or you will not stand! Continue in the Word we know to be true no matter what anyone else says or does…
2 Timothy 4:1-6

This is the 7th time in this short book that emphasis is on the Word of God! This is what ministry is about. This is what counseling is about. This is what one-on-one evangelism is about. Preaching (heralding, declaring) the Word! There is no substitute for the Bible! Only the Bible changes lives forever…
