    Why Paul Wanted To Send Timothy

    Contributed by Barnabas Park on Apr 25, 2025
     | 401 views

    The Apostle Paul says that most people—even all except Timothy—are only concerned with their own affairs, not with the interests of Christ. The work of Christ is, in fact, to truly love and care for fellow believers.

    Why Paul Wanted to Send Timothy Philippians 2:19–24 19 I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I too may be cheered by news of you. 20 For I have no one like him, who will be genuinely concerned for your welfare. 21 For they all seek their own interests, not those of Jesus ...read more

    Contributed by Elmer Towns on Jul 31, 2025
     | 155 views

    Work as diligently as possible for Christ while you wait for His appearing. Be willing to die for Christ in a world that will increasingly hate Christians, oppose you, and attempt to eliminate all those who are faithful to God.

    A. THE TOP TEN BEST OF OUR TIMES 1. More people to reach for Christ. “Most assuredly, I say to you ... the works that I [Jesus] do He [Holy Spirit] will do also; and greater [works] than these He will do, because I go to My Father” (John 14:12). 2. Easier travel from any place to all places. ...read more

    It is easier to be a freeloader. Easier to be a leech. It is easier to relax in the embracing arms of The Average. Easier, but not better. Easier but not more significant. Easier but not more fulfilling. God has called you to a life of purpose.

    Running with the Horses WT 04-18-04 am Jeremiah 12:5 Jeremiah 12:5 If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and [if] in the land of peace, [wherein] thou trustedst, [they wearied thee], then how wilt thou do in the swelling of ...read more

    Hippolytus Of Rome Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 29, 2022
     | 1,545 views

    Hippolytus was elected as a rival bishop of the Roman Church for a while. For these doctrinal differences and the bishops' relaxing of moral standards, Hippolytus bitterly opposed both bishops and Callistus' successors, Urban and Pontianus.

    Hippolytus of Rome Who was Hippolytus? I have never heard of this man, and for a good reason – He is a Catholic saint; I am a Baptist. However, he has a part to play in the development of the Catholic Church, and I hope this article provides you with enough information that you can answer the ...read more
