Paul's epistles to Timothy are considered pastoral epistles. This particular classification is given to these books because they contain instructions for church government and an orderly execution of the Lord's work. First Timothy is not considered one of Paul's prison epistles because there is no indication found within the epistle that Paul was in prison or under legal restraint by the Roman government. It is believed that Paul was released from prison in 63 A.D. and that he returned to Macedonia and Asia Minor revisiting the churches of Philippi, Ephesus, Galatia, and possibly even returning to Jerusalem. Paul was once again arrested in 67 A.D. and it was after his second imprisonment that he wrote his second letter to Timothy. 
The epistles of Paul to Timothy are important to Christian faith and service because they contain important guidelines, which when adherred to, will keep the churches on the missionary road God intended: the preaching of the gospel for the salvation of souls. When churches depart from these guidelines, they then fall prey to satanic infiltration and are bent by the winds of false doctrine. The reason churches are in the apostate and materialistic condition they are today is because they have not remained faithful to the ordinances for church government contained in the pastoral epistles.

Studies in Timothy

Is man inherently evil? Is man born with a nature to sin? Why would a just God sentence men to eternal death for something over which they have no control. 
"Now we know what things soever the law saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified ... " (Rom. 3:19) 
The human author of Romans was Paul, a lawyer and a student of the great Gamaliel. But Paul became an apostle of God's sovereign grace so that man condemned to death because of sin according to divine justice might be pardoned. 
While the book of Romans constitutes the greatest legal indictment against the entire human race ever written, this supreme tragedy ends in a love story - God loving mankind so much that He sent His only begotten Son to be judged in the place of the guilty. 
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him..." (Rom. 5:8-9)

Romance of Romans

This book contains a condensation of Petra's role in eschatology, plus many new pictures. Included in the pictorial review are pictures of Mt. Hor and Aaron's tomb. Few non-Arabs or non-Muslims have ever been permitted to go up to the top of this mountain where Aaron died. You will see pictures of a place where very few Christians have ever gone.

History

Middle East

Scripture affirms that mankind is divided into nations, races, and languages according to the will of God so that His purpose for man and the earth might be fulfilled. The Apostle Paul declared that God not only brought about this separation, but He created boundaries so that the nations would stay divided. 
There is a growing awareness in the world that the nations are headed toward a rendezvous with destiny. National problems become international problems, and then international problems become national problems. Many experts believe that the human race has passed the point of no return.

God Divided the Nations

Hutchings, N. W.

This is a new book just coming off the press - a book that every Christian, including pastors, must read. 
 *Is complacent and increasingly anti-God United States to be destroyed in the Great Tribulation? *Is our nation the Mystery Babylon of Revelation 17-18? *It is inconceivable that the United States, the most powerful nation in the end of the age, would not be mentioned in prophecy. But where? How? Why? 
In 1968, Dr. S. Franklin Logsdon, pastor of Moody Bible Church in Chicago, and a noted author and Bible expositor, wrote a book, Is the U.S.A. in Prophecy? Zondervan subsequently printed nine editions and sold hundreds of thousands of copies. In 1978, Zondervan ceased publication of the book. Zondervan has now granted Hearthstone the copyright and it has been doubled in size to update new evidences of the U.S. in Prophecy from economic, political, and religious developments since 1968. 
In twenty-four chapters, Dr. Logsdon and Dr. Hutchings have presented a comprehensive scenario in eschatology by consulting Isaiah 13, 18; Daniel 2, 7, 9; Jeremiah 50-52; Romans 1; and Revelation 17-18. As far as we know, there is no other book like this one.
