1 Timothy
This is the first of Paul's letters to Timothy, a young Pastor who
was responsible for overseeing the work of the Ephesian church and
possibly the other churches of the province of Asia. Paul cautions
Timothy to guard against false doctrine, protect public worship and
develop mature leadership. Much of the letter deals with pastoral
conduct and lays the foundation for ordaining elders in the local
church. Paul's first epistle to Timothy is like a leadership manual for
church organization and administration, with both spiritual and natural
life issues forming the theme of proper conduct in the church of the
living LORD GOD.
