If you are not reading the bible regularly right now (outside of Sunday morning), this would be a great time to revive the habit of spending time in God\u2019s word. In order to \u201cFight the Good Fight,\u201d build our faith, and live with a good conscience, we have to know The Word of God and put it into practice. \u00a01 Timothy is the basis for our next few sermons, and it is a great place to start. It is a short book compared to most in the bible, but it is brimming with practical applications for Christian living, and those applications are just as relevant now as when they were written.<\/p>\n
Would you commit to reading 1 Timothy on your own?<\/p>\n
How you read it is up to you and\u00a0I\u2019m not suggesting a particular timeline, but I recommend that you don\u2019t just blaze through it. There are some important ideas that should be read thoughtfully and possibly more than once.<\/p>\n
