Features of Later Times. Paul could see the trend of things, and knew that in “later’ times there would be an apostasy from the faith (the a.v. has “latter’ times). In its place the vacuum would be fi…

2 Timothy 1: ‘Be Courageous’
This is the last recorded letter that came from the apostle Paul. It was written from a Roman dungeon, which was devoid of every trace of comfort. From it, Paul was to go forth to his martyrdom. Its v…

2 Timothy 3: ‘Be Constant’

Titus 3: The Christian and the State
