1 Timothy 2:1-6
Church this morning was really thought-provoking. The sermon was about prayer. I think the shortest and clearest way to explain what was said is to quote 1 Timothy, Chapter 2, verses 1-6 (New International Version):
"I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone — for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men — the testimony given in its proper time."
This has just become one of my favourite Bible passages, almost matching the effect Philippians 4:4-9 had on me during a sermon back in January 2006.
Take care, y'all.
