We finished up Joshua and loved every bit of it. What a word that book spoke about us leaving a land and possessing the thing that GOD spoke to us. We are to look at Nation Israel and the Biblical Old Testament as EXAMPLES of how we should and should not walk in these days. God teaches us so much by the successes and failures of others if we will only watch and see the results.
We will begin reading 1st Timothy ch. 1-3 on Tuesday and 4-6 on Wednesday. Thursday we will look to do background reading on 2nd Timothy and we will go from there!
Have a great week- Stuart

I wish to comment, and will do so if I can post this successfuly.
What I find as the ah-huh! moment in these couple chapters is the simple truth that any person desiring to maintain leadership within the Church must be able to maintain leadership within thier own home. How many men of position and power in any context (i.e. corporate, public office, finance) are skillful at yielding power in the boardroom and unable to control the events within thier own home. This single 'conditional requirement' could be the most intimidating of charges to give someone.
Jeff...this is money. I want to be this man and I aspire more and more to have this priority. Too many ministers have sacrificed their families on the altar of the ministry only to build something that in not even Biblical.
