Dear Timothy, is meant to convey an immediate warmth of relationship that he had over several decades with a young man whom he considered to be his son. Cold-hearted people are rarely characterised by long-term relationships. The fact that Timothy was just one of the many long-term friendships that Paul had with various men and women should tell us something important about the man who wrote to Ti...

The apostle Paul is often considered to be a rather cold-hearted man. On the occasions when I have asked different women if they would have appreciated being pastored by him, it has been met with a resounding “No!” I suspect this is because Paul is similarly perceived as a male-chauvinist due to his various comments about women needing to be quiet in church and not permitted to teach a man. If thi...

The New Testament describes the Church as 'the Household of God'. To appreciate what Christ intends His Church to be, it is helpful to understand what this concept means. Within the household, good conduct was encouraged through the bestowing of honour, and bad conduct was discouraged through shame. How does shame work in today's culture — especially in the Church?

There is a world of difference between being sceptical and cynical.

The New Testament describes the Church as 'the Household of God'. The Greco-Roman Household was a microcosm of the Roman Empire. One ancient scholar wrote that the strength of the empire was build on the strength of the 'Household'. To appreciate what Christ intends His Church to be, it is helpful to understand what this concept means.

In Ephesians 2:19, the Apostle Paul describes the Church as 'The Household of God'. To understand what this meant to the first Christians helps us to understand today why the Church is so central to God's plan.

The New Testament describes the Church as ‘the Household of God’ and grounded its structure, roles, and benefits on the Greco-Roman Households of the day. To understand what the New Testament writers meant when they described the Church as the Household of God, we need to take a look at what they saw.

When you imagine how the churches described in the New Testament conducted their church services, What do you see? Interestingly the churches described in the New Testament are described as “Households”. The houses of the Greco-Roman world during the First Century were designed to accommodate ‘Households’. These Households formed the structure and basis of the early churches.

Based on the Apostle Paul's Corinthian benediction, we see that it is not only possible to have fellowship with the Holy Spirit — it is actually commended to us to do so. For anyone who enters into fellowship with the Holy Spirit they will soon discover that one of the clearest evidences of this spiritual fellowship is transformation into the likeness of Christ's character.

Becoming a Christian is only possible by a work of the Holy Spirit. But this work in the heart and soul of a believer begins well before they become a believer. In fact, the Holy Spirit will often prepare a person for their destiny well before they are converted. It is the Holy Spirit that enables a person to find their place in life and to do so with great satisfaction and a strong sense of fulfi...

Christianity is not merely some vague mental ascent to some irrelevant religious ideals. On the contrary, Christianity begins in a person's soul via a spiritual transformation that only the Holy Spirit can achieve. But this is not all, not only does the Spirit wash and transform a soul to be forgiven and cleansed, He also immerses the believer in Himself in what Christ referred to as being baptise...

Christianity is not merely some vague mental ascent to some irrelevant religious ideals. On the contrary, Christianity begins in a person's soul via a spiritual transformation that only the Holy Spirit can achieve. Therefore, Christianity is the Spirit-filled life!

Christianity is only possible by a miracle caused by the Holy Spirit. The believer continues to enjoy a relationship with the Holy Spirit. Each of these episodes in The Spirit Series deals with an aspect of that relationship.
