Times were hard.

Paul was about to give his life for Christ. And his good news to Timothy was that he was going to have to do the same before this whole thing was over.

He has a lot to say to Timothy

* Instructions

* Encouragements

* Memories

There is one theme that recurs in each and every chapter. That theme is the Word of God. And it is no wonder. God’s Word IS the one piece of heaven we can hold in our hands today.

* It is not a religious relic

* It is not a spiritual “rabbit’s foot”

The Bible, together with the local church, is the only thing in this world that can get you through this world. What you and I do with the Bible will determine how successfully we make it through the “hard times” that very much appear to be approaching.
