Pass It On is the ringing battle cry from the Apostle Paul in his two
letters to Timothy, and pass it on is the same message and challenge to
followers of Christ who study those letters today. The books of 1 and 2
Timothy are a gold mine for Christians who want to learn (or review) the
basics in spiritual living. With careful scholarship and clear writing,
Robert Mounce gives you the tools to mine that gold as he covers both
letters in verse by verse style - - from knowing how to avoid going
wrong, to discovering the role of women in the church; - from finding
qualities you need for church leadership, to guarding against cashing in
on attractive new converts; - from refuting the legalism of super
sainthood, to training you to be in good spiritual condition; - from
learning to give tender loving care, to avoiding the love of money.
These are just a few of the many truths Paul shares with Timothy and
which the author helps you apply to your own spiritual life. The result
is a practical commentary, a manual of church discipline...a series of
instructions on how Christians in a local community should organize
themselves in order to worship God and live together in Christian love.
