    As the consummation of the Age nears, the infiltration of evil into the churches will become more pronounced, requiring awareness and resistance from the faithful.

    The number of ’nay’ sayers, discouragers, destroyers in the church will increase. But true believers have the knowledge that leads to salvation.

    There may have been other letters from Paul to Timothy, and more than likely, some going the other way. It becomes very obvious in the reading of these two that we have, that Paul loved Timothy very dearly. Even calls him ‘son’. He mentions Timothy in Romans, in First and Second Corinthians, ...read more

    This is on the Letter to Smyrna.

    This is the only mention in the Bible about the Church of Smyrna. Smyrna was very close to Ephesus, which we looked at last week. Paul likely started the church while he was in Ephesus for three years. Acts 19:10 says, “This continued for two years, so that all the residents of Asia heard the ...read more

    Paul set us a good example of serving God through his afflictions, with fortitude and with integrity.

    It is amazing and beautiful to see how Paul comes to know God and experience Him as the God of all comfort despite his trials and tribulations. • Most people would complain about their sufferings and question God. “Why me?” and “What this?” when we have been serving Him so faithfully? • Some may ...read more
