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).

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).
