The epistle of Second Timothy is considered to be one of Paul’s most personal letters. He is writing during his second and final imprisonment to his trusted and beloved son in the faith. Paul knows his execution is imminent. His concern is not for himself, but for Timothy, who must continue in the spiritual battle. His theme, “the good soldier of Jesus Christ” follows that of first Timothy, “Fight the good fight” (1Ti 1:18; 1Ti 6:12).

Malachi Session 5
The priest Phinehas acted out God's attitude (Mal 2:7-8, Num 25:6-13). We need to study like Ezra, prepare like Solomon and preach like Paul. God used Ezra in a mighty way (Ezr 7:6-10). If we study like Ezra. we also need to prepare like Solomon (Ecc 12:9-11). Paul reasoned, explained, and demonstrated his points (Act 17:1-3). Teaching is a tremendous priviledge (Heb 5:12-14). God's Fatherhood was to the nation of Israel (Mal 2:10). God rails against divorce among the Jews (Mal 2:11-17). What makes this important to God? godly offspring (1Co 7:14).
