As I explained in last Sunday's service, one huge key in helping us understand the letters of Paul, is locating his purpose statements for writing each of his letters. Today we read the first section of a 4 day reading through the Pastoral Epistles. 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus have become know as the pastoral Epistles because Paul is writing to 2 younger pastors that he himself placed in the ministry, overseeing churches. In the reading today, did you notice 3:14-15, where Paul gives his purpose statement for writing this first letter to Timothy. I am excited and looking forward to unpacking this book in much greater detail beginning February 1st 2016 with the my church family.

This is a topic that we definitely should be talking about. There are not a lot of people who understand how this works, and to me, that is just the worst thing possible. If we can do whatever it is that we can to make our lives better, then that is what we should be doing. There is not much that I can say to be honest. We have to put this topic out there, and we need to do it fast. Leave a Reply. |
