Patriotic In Prayer Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 30, 2021

We need to remember that the man on the throne when Paul wrote this was none other than Nero, who was the most anti-Christian leader we can imagine. But Paul is urging Christians to pray for him, and Paul prayed for this man who would soon order the taking of his own life.

Paul was a man of authority who respected the authority of others. In Acts 23 it is recorded that he was struck on the mouth, and he began to rebuke the one who did it. Those who were near by asked, "Would you revile God's high priest?" Paul answered, "I did not know brethren ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022

Paul wrote to young Timothy and said, “…that thou...war a good warfare.”

Illus: It is obvious, from much of Paul’s writings, that he thought of the Christian life as a warfare. He spoke of Christians as soldiers, in training, discipline, and even in having weapons. In the Book of Acts, we can see so clearly that Christians are soldiers. In one chapter we read ...read more

Teachings Of Titus #1

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

This is because the book of Acts does not give a complete list of everywhere Paul went on his missionary journeys. Paul left the island of Crete, and now he is writing back to Titus to give him ...read more
