I started out with 2 Thessalonians and felt like reading on, so I went ahead and read 1 Timothy, after which I just had to read 2 Timothy.<\/p>\n<p>This has left me with an over-abundance of scripture to think about, but I&#8217;m anxious to finish reading through so that I can start really digging in.  It&#8217;s been too long, though, and I really have to read everything through first.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, I have too much swimming in my brain now to concentrate on one particular thing.  I did notice a few things during this read-through that are worth mentioning for later scrutiny&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Paul, for instance, wrote the second letter to the Thessalonians and signed it with his own hand specifically so that they would be able to identify it as genuine (see <a href=\"http:\/\/bread.mycommlog.com\/index.asp?link=true&amp;version=nrsv&amp;book=2th&amp;ch=3&amp;start=17&amp;stop=17\" target=\"bread\"> 2 Thessalonians 3:17<\/a> after reading <a href=\"http:\/\/bread.mycommlog.com\/index.asp?link=true&amp;version=nrsv&amp;book=2th&amp;ch=2&amp;start=1&amp;stop=2\" target=\"bread\">2:1-2<\/a>).&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li> He also made a habit, when writing to Timothy, to share specific names when warning him about false doctrine or people who had fallen away or caused him harm (<a href=\"http:\/\/bread.mycommlog.com\/index.asp?link=true&amp;version=nrsv&amp;book=1ti&amp;ch=1&amp;start=20&amp;stop=20\" target=\"bread\">1 Timothy 1:20<\/a>, 2 Timothy <a href=\"http:\/\/bread.mycommlog.com\/index.asp?link=true&amp;version=nrsv&amp;book=2ti&amp;ch=1&amp;start=15&amp;stop=15\" target=\"bread\">1:15<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/bread.mycommlog.com\/index.asp?link=true&amp;version=nrsv&amp;book=2ti&amp;ch=4&amp;start=10&amp;stop=10\" target=\"bread\">4:10<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/bread.mycommlog.com\/index.asp?link=true&amp;version=nrsv&amp;book=2ti&amp;ch=4&amp;start=14&amp;stop=15\" target=\"bread\">4:14-15<\/a>).  I think I will be using these letters as a jumping-off point for finding a good, complete, Biblical definition for what constitutes gossip, and I think this is worth noting in that study (as Paul surely wasn&#8217;t a gossip).&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li> I have read 1 Timothy more times than I can count, and I *always* find something new or fresh or see something in a new light &#8212; living Word indeed!&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li> <a href=\"http:\/\/bread.mycommlog.com\/index.asp?link=true&amp;version=nrsv&amp;book=2ti&amp;ch=1&amp;start=6&amp;stop=7\" target=\"bread\">2 Timothy 1:6-7<\/a> reminds me that we all need to be reminded sometimes.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li> <a href=\"http:\/\/bread.mycommlog.com\/index.asp?link=true&amp;version=kjv&amp;book=2ti&amp;ch=1&amp;start=12&amp;stop=12\" target=\"bread\">2 Timothy 1:12<\/a> &#8211; I learned this song recently, it&#8217;s a good one!&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li> <a href=\"http:\/\/bread.mycommlog.com\/index.asp?link=true&amp;version=nrsv&amp;book=2ti&amp;ch=3&amp;start=1&amp;stop=9\" target=\"bread\">2 Timothy 3:1-9<\/a> made a specific impression&#8230; I am mentioning it now so that I&#8217;ll have a record of the passage and can go back to it later for a more in-depth study.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was compelled to read three books today.
