Pastoral Epistles

Pastoral Epistles

The Roman Emperor Nero martyred the Apostle Paul in the year 68 AD. Among Paul’s last letters are what we call the Pastoral Epistles: 1 Timothy; 2 Timothy; and Titus. They were given this name because Paul originally wrote them to pastors of the nascent church. The key themes are: the qualifications required of church leaders, how to organize worship services, how to maintain authority within the church, and how to recognize false teachers and purge them from the congregation.

Blessings have been poured out onto me

Blessings have been poured out onto me

HOME FOR SALE BY OWNER
I wrote a Hub four weeks ago entitled Home For Sale; Owner Bankrupt. In it I wrote of my gratitude for the great blessings I have been graced with during my lifetime. I revealed that I have financially gone broke, that my home is for sale, as is an automobile and my art collection.
