Pastoral Epistles: 1 Timothy 2:9 - Egalitarianism vs Complementarianism 8:25

3d ago8:25

8:25

Paul now turns his attention from the men to the women. Needless to say, the role of women is one that is hotly debated in today’s church. There are two basic positions on the issue, and most everyone identifies with one or the other more closely. One is called the egalitarian view. The other view is called complementarianism. This passage stands a…

Pastoral Epistles: 1 Timothy 2:8 - The Heart’s Posture for Prayer 8:27

4d ago8:27

8:27

There are many prayer postures found in the Bible: standing with outstretched hands; kneeling; standing; sitting; bowing the; lifting the eyes; falling on the ground. What posture are we to choose from amongst so many as it is impossible to assume them all. In short, the important thing is not the posture of the body but the posture of the heart. P…

Pastoral Epistles: 1 Timothy 2:7 - The Call to Proclaim the Gospel 8:01

5d ago8:01

8:01

The word “preacher” comes from a word that means to proclaim or herald, to speak publicly. Some will say that we need always to be proclaiming the gospel, and, if necessary, use words. That’s a statement born in hell, brothers and sisters, since it minimizes the oral proclamation of the gospel. Paul wasn’t appointed as a gospel example to the Genti…

Pastoral Epistles: 1 Timothy 2:6 - Ransom for All 8:14

6d ago8:14

8:14

The word “ransom” is a rich term that highlights just what happened to Jesus on the cross. When someone is kidnapped, a ransom must be paid by someone else to free that person. Jesus didn’t merely pay a ransom to free us. He became the victim in our place. He died our death. He bore our sin. He gave himself.…

Pastoral Epistles: 1 Timothy 2:5 - The Reason for the Admonition 9:31

7d ago9:31

9:31

Not only is there only one God, but there is only one mediator between God and men, Jesus Christ. Mediator is one who intervenes between two individuals to restore peace. Because Christ is the only mediator, all must come to God through him. Some are offended by such an exclusive claim. But understand something very important. This claim is exclusi…

Pastoral Epistles: 1 Timothy 2:3-4 - God’s Heart for Lost Souls 8:58

10d ago8:58

8:58

This at the beginning of this verse points back to the admonition of pray for the lost in the first two verses of this chapter. To do so is “good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior.” “Good” refers to that which is intrinsically and morally good. Praying for the lost is the noble and spiritually proper thing to do, and our consciences wil…

Pastoral Epistles: 1 Timothy 2:2 - Striving for Societal Peace 8:14

11d ago8:14

8:14

I don’t know about you, but I like quiet and tranquil as opposed to loud and chaotic. The adjectives quiet and tranquil are rare to the New Testament. Tranquil, appearing only here in the New Testament, refers to the absence of external disturbances. The latter, translated quiet, appears only here and in 1 Peter 3:4, refers to the absence of intern…

Pastoral Epistles: 1 Timothy 2:2 - Praying for Rulers & Authorities 8:03

12d ago8:03

8:03

We can be tempted to pray for our political leaders in ways contrary to what Paul is directing here. We may be tempted to ask God to sick them instead of save them, but that would be contrary to Scripture’s counsel. The injunction here calls for the Ephesian assembly to pray for the emperor, who at that time was the cruel and vicious blasphemer, Ne…

Pastoral Epistles: 1 Timothy 2:1-2 - The 4 Characteristics of Evangelistic Prayer 8:54

13d ago8:54

8:54

These characteristically evangelistic prayers are to be made on behalf of all people, including kings and all who are in authority. Our prayers are all too often narrowly confined to personal needs and wants and rarely extend beyond those of our immediate circle of friends and family. In sharp contrast, however, Paul calls for evangelistic prayer o…

Pastoral Epistles: 1 Timothy 2:1 - Evangelistic Prayer 7:24

14d ago7:24

7:24

Are we to pray for the lost? Or are we just to pray for those who are laboring among the lost as Jesus commanded in Matthew 9:37-38: Then He *said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. “Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.” Some have contended that we should only pray for th…

Pastoral Epistles: 1 Timothy 1:19-20 - Faith & Good Conscience 8:11

17d ago8:11

8:11

A good conscience means that we are what we declare ourselves to be. H.L. Mencken, 20th century American journalist, essayist, and satirist, defined conscience as “the inner voice which warns us that somebody may be looking.” Morally speaking, you act the same when you are alone as at other times. Faith and a good conscience are three times joined …

Pastoral Epistles: 1 Timothy 1:18 - Urgent Command 8:21

18d ago8:21

8:21

Paul began his instruction to Timothy with a strong statement by saying “This command I entrust to you . . .” This military language is utilized to provide force to what he is yet to say. The word translated “command” references an urgent command handed down from a superior officer. Timothy is solemnly reminded that the ministry is not a matter to …

Pastoral Epistles: 1 Timothy 1:16-17 - Purpose of God’s Mercy 8:35

19d ago8:35

8:35

Paul understood his need and, for this reason, he “found mercy.” He then stated the primary reason that he found that mercy. It wasn’t so that he could go to heaven instead of hell. It wasn’t so that he could bring the gospel to the Gentiles. It wasn’t so that he could be the most prolific writer of New Testament documents. It was so that “Jesus Ch…

Pastoral Epistles: 1 Timothy 1:15 - The Bedrock of the Doctrine of Grace 7:41

20d ago7:41

7:41

What Paul gave in just a few words is a distilled version of the gospel. Jesus came into the world to save sinners is both succinct and complete. Bound up in the two words, Christ Jesus, is all that he is. Christ is the anointed one who came to redeem. To do so he came in human form as Jesus at the incarnation.…

Pastoral Epistles: 1 Timothy 1:14 - Hyper-Abundant Grace 8:10

21d ago8:10

8:10

Paul considered himself the chief of sinners and described himself as a former blasphemer, persecutor, and violent aggressor. But notice what he wrote in verse 14. In spite of all this, “the grace of our Lord was more than abundant.” How beautiful. As great as was his sin, the grace of our Lord was more than abundant. This is a powerful message for…
