    Be A Good Soldier

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Oct 16, 2021
     | 2,157 views

    'Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus', Paul tells Timothy. We look at the story of three men who did just that: Thomas Cranmer, Nicholas Ridley and Hugh Latimer and ask why.

    Last week we started a new series on 2 Timothy. We looked at chapter 1 and I suggested that Paul’s central message to Timothy was, ‘Don’t be ashamed of the gospel’. Today we’re moving on to chapter 2. But I’m going to approach the passage by a different route. I’m going to take a look at three ...read more

     | 2,692 views

    We usually think of prayer as peaceful, but Paul described Epaphras as “wrestling” in Col. 4:12 with the word “agonize.” The same word is translated as "STRIVE" in an Olympic event and as "FIGHT the good fight of faith!" Join the wrestling match!

    Often, when God’s man has the courage to stand before the people of God, and declare the whole counsel of God’s Word, it does not earn him any favorable treatment.

    Why? Because he tells them things they do not want to hear.
