Paul’s final words include telling Timothy to be a man, to endure suffering, and (not a surprise) preach the word.

God destroys the world in one fell swoop and Paul destroys socialism in one fell swoop. All this and more in 2 Thessalonians.

Persecution in the church abounds, Christians are encouraged to be holy, and Paul tells us how he became like a woman. All this and more in 1 Thessalonians.

God creates the beautiful butterflies, stunning sunsets, and demons. Welcome to the book of Colossians.

Paul tells us his greatest accomplishments are a pile of dung, and we learn that you can do all things through…a verse that is taken out of context.

Paul talks again about predestination, Jews and Gentiles are both heirs of the promise, and women must submit to their husbands. All this and more in the book of Ephesians.

The heart of Christian generosity, super apostles, and thorns from Satan. All this and more in 2 Corinthians.

You are not a good person.

Kangaroo courts, death threats, ship wrecks, and snake tamers. The life of the Christian is pretty darn exciting.

Close friends go their own way, Paul wrecks pagan wisdom in Athens, and we see the deadly nature of long-winded pastors.

Is his name Saul? Or is it Paul? Either way, the guy gets elected by God and kicked off a horse.

God smites down people who don’t tithe with their whole heart, apparently pastors don’t like setting up chairs on Sunday morning, and the apostles set a dangerous precedent for disobeying government mandates.
