First Timothy

 

First Timothy      

Paul’s trial in Rome came out in his favor, and he was released.

Timothy was raised in a godly home and came to know Christ through Paul’s ministry. Paul made Timothy his special assistant at Lystra and eventually sent him to preach at the church in Ephesus.

First Timothy is a letter telling preachers how they should conduct themselves. Paul stresses that Timothy should preach the truth an appoint qualified leaders. His final instructions to Timothy was to find faithful men, learn how to confront false teachers, learn how to order the church’s worship, and learn how to select leaders, finally to conduct himself as a young leader in a difficult situation, and how to guard his own soul from errors all around him.

There are times when it is right to retreat and sit by the sidelines, and there are times when the Lord calls us to step forward and to take action. God mightily uses those who step forward in faith.
