The Letters to Timothy and Titus (1 Unit)
On
his second missionary journey Paul found Timothy at Lystra, and because
of his commendation by the brethren at Lystra and Iconium, Paul
determined to take Timothy along as a member of the missionary
party. Timothy became one of Paul’s closest companions, and to him Paul
addressed two of his three pastoral letters. Paul gave Timothy the earliest instructions for the orderly arrangement of the local church, the qualities of leaders in the local church, and the need to teach the truth. Titus accompanied Paul and Barnabas as part of the Antioch delegation to Jerusalem
to settle problems that had arisen through legalistic attitudes. After
Paul’s’ release from his first Roman imprisonment he and Titus visited
Crete and Paul left Titus there to "set in order the things that are
lacking and appoint elders in every city." --------------- For over sixty years, William MacDonald addressed the key issues of Christianity in clear and simple terms. Leaving a promising business career to serve the Lord Jesus, he traveled worldwide, proclaiming the unsearchable riches of Christ. His more than eighty works are characterized by an economy of words that only comes by a major time investment in God’s Word. Although William MacDonald went to be with the Lord in 2008, his writing ministry continues to instruct and teach thousands of people today. --------------- V. Paul Flint’s writings are the fruit of an extensive preaching and teaching ministry including 34 years on the faculty of Emmaus Bible College and regular pulpit ministry. He and his wife, Helen, also have a deep interest in foreign missions which has resulted in numerous summers devoted to work with individual missionaries and missionary organizations including Operation Mobilization and Ireland Outreach. The Flints now reside in Lynnwood, Washington. |
