What's the Good in Godliness? Studies in First and Second Timothy

Only in Paul's letters to Timothy do we find the expression 'Man [or Woman] of God' in the New Testament – such a person would be characterized by godliness; but what is it and how do we become godly? Brian answers these vital questions across 11 engaging chapters: The Law and Godliness - why the Old Testament law could never make a person godly. A Life of Godliness - how both men and women can lead lives that are godly. The Evidence of Godliness - what is the proof that we're godly people? The Mystery of Godliness - how Jesus is our ultimate example of godliness. The Discipline of Godliness - what it's going to take for us to become godly The Doctrine of Godliness - the connection between godliness and the truth of God's word. The Gain of Godliness - the reward in store for those that are godly The Pursuit of Godliness - fleeing, following and fighting in order to be godly The Language of Godliness - making sure what we say is godly The Power of Godliness - avoiding having a form of godliness but denying its power The Desire and Trials of Godliness - overcoming the obstacles that inevitably come with godliness.
