Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does a true minister of Christ look like, and what constitutes his ministry? How can we identify the life and labours of one called by God to serve in the church? A Good Minister of Jesus Christ, by Theodore Andoseh, seeks to provide answers to the above questions through a close examination of the life (worker) and ministry (work) of Timothy—a protégé of Apostle Paul. From his own steadfast, dynamic, and utterly devoted life and ministry as a messenger of the gospel, amid suffering and hardship, Apostle Paul admonished Timothy unto faithfulness in ministry, personal cultivation, commitment to the goal, submission to spiritual authority, and self-watch as an antidote to apostasy and moral bankruptcy. The author shows that Timothy's unrelenting faithfulness in the worst kinds of trials—leader of a church infiltrated by false teachers; church members looking down on him because of his youth; frequent stomach ailments; and so on—is a remarkable example to every contemporary worker in the vineyard of God. In the end, the fruit of his labours—the growth, overflow, and partnership of the churches in Macedonia—defines the faithful minister (worker) he became. As you read on, may the Lord stir in you the urge to be a good tree that will bear good and lasting fruit for His glory.

Book excerpt: There is an appetite for God. And it can be awakened. I invite you to turn from the dulling effects of food and the dangers of idolatry, and to say with some simple fast: "This much, O God, I want you." Our appetites dictate the direction of our lives - whether it be the cravings of our stomachs, the passionate desire for possessions or power, or the longings of our spirits for God. But for the Christian, the hunger for anything besides God can be an arch-enemy. While our hunger for God - and Him alone - is the only thing that will bring victory. Do you have that hunger for Him? As John Piper puts it: "If we don't feel strong desires for the manifestation of the glory of God, it is not because you have drunk deeply and are satisfied. It is because we have nibbled so long at the table of the world. Our soul is stuffed with small things, and there is no room for the great." If we are full of what the world offers, then perhaps a fast might express, or even increase, our soul's appetite for God. Between the dangers of self-denial and self-indulgence is this path of pleasant pain called fasting. It is the path John Piper invites you to travel in this book. For when God is the supreme hunger of your heart, He will be supreme in everything. And when you are most satisfied in Him, He will be most glorified in you.

Download or read book First Timothy written by Gregory Brown and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-04-15 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we become good ministers of Christ Jesus? In 1 Timothy, Paul writes his protege Timothy, who is overseeing the church in Ephesus, to encourage him to complete the work God called him to (1 Tim 1:18-19). False teachers had infiltrated the congregation, church members were looking down on Timothy because of his youth, and Timothy was frequently sick with stomach ailments. There were many obstacles to discourage and make him want to quit. Throughout the letter, Paul encourages Timothy to be faithful (1 Tim 4:14-16, 6:11-12), instructs him on how the church of the living God should be run (1 Tim 3:15), and on how to be a good minister of Christ Jesus (1 Tim 4:6). Although 1 Timothy is often called a pastoral epistle, it doesn't just speak to pastors. It speaks to all of us, because we're all called to ministry. It instructs us on issues like combatting false teaching (Ch. 1), prayer and worship (Ch. 2), church organization (Ch. 3), the minister's life and doctrine (Ch. 4), the mercy ministry of the church (Ch. 5), and the believer's relationship with money (Ch. 6), among other things. It also encourages us to complete our God-given tasks, amidst various obstacles (cf. 1 Tim 1:18-19, 4:12). As we read it, we are challenged, like Timothy, to become good ministers of Christ Jesus, at a time when the church desperately needs them. Let's study it together with The Bible Teacher's Guide: "Expositional, theological, and candidly practical! I highly recommend The Bible Teacher's Guide for anyone seeking to better understand or teach God's Word." -Dr. Young-Gil Kim, Founding President of Handong Global University "Helpful to both the layman and the serious student, The Bible Teacher's Guide, by Dr. Greg Brown, is outstanding!" -Dr. Neal Weaver, President of Louisiana Baptist University

Book excerpt: The letter of 1 Peter was written to persecuted Christians scattered throughout the Roman Empire. It was meant to both encourage and instruct them on how to live as pilgrims in a hostile society. This message is still relevant today. Christ declared that in the end times believers would be hated by all nations because of him (Matthew 24:9). With the continuing culture shift, animosity and persecution towards Christians is increasing at an alarming rate. Over four hundred Christians are martyred every day, and more saints have died for the faith in the last century than all the previous combined. The words of 1 Peter are a message of hope, desperately needed to encourage and prepare the Church for what lies ahead. Let's journey through Peter's letter together with the aid of The Bible Teacher's Guide. Expositional, theological, and candidly practical! I highly recommend the Bible Teacher's Guide for anyone seeking to better understand or teach God's Word. Dr. Young-Gil Kim, Founding President of Handong Global University This study could be used by pastors as an aid for sermon preparation, by small group leaders, or by any believer who wants to understand and apply God's Word personally. I can't imagine any student of Scripture not benefiting by this work. Steven J. Cole, Pastor, Flagstaff Christian Fellowship.
