The theme for the Spring 2011 Bible conference in Phoenix is found both at the beginning and end of the book (1Ti 1:18, 1Ti 6:12). In each reference, different words and phrases are used. In the first, Paul speaks of the good fight of faith as an ongoing campaign, thus reminding us that we are part of a vast and great spiritual army. In the last, his words focus on our own personal struggle, a good reminder that no one can fight our battle for us. This scope and intensity will be captured as we follow Paul’s thought through the book.

PowerOfPraise #5
Eight praise languages:
- Repentance (2Ch 20:3)
- Prayer (2Ch 20:5-12)
- Proclamation (2Ch 20:14-16)
- Resting in faith (2Ch 20:17-19)
- Obedience (2Ch 20:20)
- Thanksgiving (2Ch 20:21)
- Singing (2Ch 20:22)
- Giving (2Ch 20:24-28)
We cannot glorify God and ourselves at the same time. We rob God of His glory. Exodus generation never learned to praise God. Joshua leads the younger generation into Jericho. Rahab trusts God, but Achan took some of the plunder. Israel's Army is struck down at AI (Jos 7:5-26). Repentance through praise is necessary (Jos 7:19). Death with repentance is better than life without it. Repentance is return to right thinking (2Co 7:9-13).
Scripture References: Joshua 7:19, Joshua 7:5-26
