1 Timothy — Book Overview

About this episode
We live in an age that is allergic to authority. Our entire culture is built on the sandy foundation of the autonomous self, which means that every man is his own king, his own priest, and his own god. Our generation is full of spiritual handymen who think they can build a good and just society with no blueprint, no foundation, and no plumb line. They demand the fruit of Christendom, things like justice, liberty, and human dignity, while simultaneously dynamiting the foundations that made those things possible. The Apostle Paul does not end his letter to Timothy with a gentle fade-out. He concludes with a sharp, personal, and urgent command. It is as though he puts his hand on his young protege's shoulder, looks him squarely in the eye, and gives him a final, weighty charge.
