The Message of 2 Timothy: Guard the Gospel (1973) by John R. W. Stott
I love The Bible Speaks Today commentaries
because it's characterised by a threefold ideal: to expound the biblical text
with accuracy, to relate it to contemporary life, and to be readable. God still
speaks through what He has spoken, and that nothing is more necessary for the
life, health and growth of Christians than that we should hear what the Spirit
is saying to us through His ancient - yet ever modern - Word.
Okay, the book. I've read
this book twice. Very good! I simple love how John Stott expounds the Word
especially 2 Timothy. John writes, "During
the gestation of this book I seem to have lived inside the second letter of
Paul to Timothy in imagination I have sat down beside Timothy and have tried
myself to hear and heed this final charge from the aging apostle... On each
occasion I have been impressed afresh by the timeliness for today what the
apostle writes; especially for young Christian leaders. For our era is one of
theological and moral confusion, even of apostasy and the apostle summons us,
as he summoned Timothy, to be strong, brave and steadfast."
Indeed, this book is not just timeless but also timely
for me.
My favourite is 1 Timothy, no doubt.
THINK BIG.
START SMALL. GO DEEP.
