Timothy was a close associate of Paul who was facing problems within the church that he was leading in Ephesus. In these personal letters, Paul gives practical pastoral instruction to his protege, highlighting godliness and holy living to help Timothy fulfill his calling and effectively carry out his important tasks in the church. "Let no one despise your youth," Paul encouraged, "but be an example to believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity" (1 Timothy 4:12).

Paul's gentle encouragement in these letters challenges Timothy to persevere in his faith--a...

In Psalm 31:14, David writes, "But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord; I say, 'You are my God.'" David was able say this because he had developed a lifestyle of depending on the Lord in every situation--both the good times and the bad. The same is true for us.

When it comes to God's will for our lives, there are certain things we can know for sure. We know it is God's will for us to love Him body, soul, mind, and heart and to love our neighbor as ourselves. But what about the things we don't know for sure? The Bible doesn't tell us which car to buy or how many children we should have and at what age. This freedom can feel threatening at times, but Jesus doesn't want us to live in fear. He said, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they might have life, and have it to the full" (John 10:10). In this study readers...
