These were Letters whose primary purpose was “Pastoral” in nature; How […]

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith;” 2 Timothy 4:7 Many believe that this 2nd Letter to Timothy was written while Paul was awaiting his execution. He even states in Verse 6 that, “I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time

“For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.” 1 Timothy 6:10 In Chapter 6, Paul is drawing his Letter to Timothy to a close. He begins stressing the importance of the Doctrine

“For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son,” Colossians 1:13 If you’ve read the Book of Colossians, you’ll know that this was one of the Churches Paul did not personally visit, at least at the writing of this Letter.

“For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 1:6 Philippians is another Book that I can sit and meditate on all day. There are so many Verses I could comment on, but this one stands out

“and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.” Ephesians 4:24 As you read through the New Testament Epistles, one thing that stands out in Paul’s Letters is his division between Doctrine and Application.

“Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us,” Ephesians 3:20 Ephesians is another Book that you could spend pages and pages on in comment. I guess that is why there are so many books on it! Today,
