A Study Commentary on 1 and 2 Timothy is unavailable, but you can change that!

If we were to take a poll of modern Christians and ask them what they think are some of the key issues facing the church today, what would be on that list? Certainly it would include things like, what is at the heart of the ministry of the church? How should women participate in the church? How important is the preaching ministry of the church, and what should the church’s preaching look like?...

The word ‘for’ at the beginning of these verses indicates that they represent a reason why Timothy is to endure in the proclamation of the Word of God. Biblical teaching is not what our sinful nature desires. In fact, our ‘natural’ selves revolt against biblical truth, longing for teachers who tell us what we want to hear. We generally do not want to hear that we are sinners and fall short of the standards set by a holy God. We do not like to hear that God is a God of justice who punishes wrongdoers
