Addresses on Timothy, Titus & Philemon
Overview
1 & 2 Timothy and Titus are letters of counsel from the heart of a pastor. In them, Paul gives encouragement, instruction, and practical ministry advice fitting not only for his recipients but for modern readers. The book of Philemon deals with the Gospel within the context of complex cultural and social arrangements. How does the Gospel apply to an escaped slave?

“There were no Theological Seminaries, no Bible Institutes where people could go for a quick training in spiritual truths and practical work; but the older took the younger with him. Barnabas took Mark with him in early days, and later Mark became the companion of Peter; Paul took different ones with him on various occasions, Timothy, Titus, Silas, and others; and in this way the younger men gained experience and confidence until they were able to launch out independently for the Lord.” (Pages 13–14)
“It is a poor kind of Christianity that rejoices in the fact that Christ has purchased for us eternal life through His death on the cross, yet refuses to identify oneself with Him in suffering and persecution.” (Page 231)
“Apparently, he was converted through the personal ministry of Paul, although the Apostle had never visited Colosse, where Philemon resided.” (Page 278)
“One of the first great responsibilities resting upon the people of God is supplication and prayer” (Page 51)
“Four things are brought before us here. The word ‘prayer’ suggests any kind of approach to God” (Page 51)
