What must the next generation of church leaders possess that marks a life of integrity and proven character? Paul reveals many tools essential for church life and leadership in this letter to his young protégé, Timothy. He shows us tools for warfare against false doctrines, and the accepted response to the kingship of Jesus through complete trust and wholehearted obedience. He exhorts us all to embrace God's truth and exemplify maturity in speech, conduct, love and faith.
How should each generation appoint their church leaders, put order to the worship and teaching of the church body and stay faithful in doing good works? Paul gives each Christian a written directive to pursue godly righteousness and with a bold confession present the powerful gospel of Christ.
