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.

9-11 in Retrospect
Since 9/11 we have each had to grapple with questions we've never faced. The issues may be new to us, but are not in the record of history. Our country today is divided along many lines that are false. Circumspectly, 9/11 brings 10 spiritual lessons to light that should help us stay true (2Co 5:14-21, Act 17:30, Act 20:21, Act 26:20, Luk. 13:1-5, Mat. 23:23, 2Co. 4:4).
