2884 | Genre of 2nd Timothy? | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 178751 | ||
Hello vikki, I'm not sure genre would be the most apt way to categorize any Book of the Bible. The Bible- as a whole- could be said to be of the genre of literature. 2nd Timothy is one of the Pastoral Epistles and the Apostle Paul's last. I trust this will be of some help. BradK |

2888 | Matt. 18 Mediation or Christian Hearing? | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 181652 | ||
Dear Jesusfreakk, Most disputes are complex. Since I don't know the specifics of your situation or your Church's workings, I have to offer some general guidelines. Hopefully, it will be of some help. In the book "Mastering Conflict and Controversy", authors Dobson, Leas, and Shelly observe that: "The Pastor’s Role in Intervention An acquaintance of mine told me something a doctor told him: “Doctors don’t heal the body; the body heals itself. Sometimes a disease or infection becomes more than the body can handle on its own. With the medication and procedures we use, we are trying to give the body a chance to heal itself.” In conflict mediation, I see my role in similar terms. I can’t coerce people to reconcile. But just as a doctor can resort to ice packs for a sprained ankle and antibiotics for an infection, so I can bring factors to bear in a dispute that will encourage the disputing parties to seek their own healing. These are: • Scripture. Sometimes a pastor feels he exerts no more authority than the referee of a World Wrestling Federation match. However, while the WWF doesn’t exactly stand behind its referees, God wholly backs up his Word. Scripture is the strongest factor influencing people to begin and continue the painful process of reconciliation. God-fearing people, convinced that conflict and bitterness displease God, will swallow their pride and make peace with enemies. It doesn’t take more than a few gentle reminders, especially from Ephesians, to encourage people to reconcile. My use of Scripture, of course, depends on the clarity of the Scripture. When the verse under question is clear (for example, that stealing is wrong), I state my position unequivocally. When a verse is subject to two or more interpretations (for example on the divorce issue), I explain my interpretation and clearly label it as such. I don’t try to strong-arm them into buying my interpretation but insist that they decide what they think is right. I leave the issue between them and God, because that’s where the issue ultimately rests (it’s their conflict). I never get embroiled in an argument over correct interpretation. • Motivation. By approaching the parties in conflict and saying, “Let’s try to work this out,” I serve as an instigator and impetus of reconciliation. Just as a preacher brings people, especially people who otherwise avoid that decision, to the point of faith with an “altar call,” so I beckon adversaries with a “peacemaking call.” • Productive communication . Until they start talking, rivals cannot reconcile. But when opponents try to communicate on their own, they often lock horns and do more goring than good. They accuse, threaten, and yell. In the presence of a pastor, they are much less likely to behave in the same way. A church committee can perform this same service, but there’s also something about the office of pastor that puts people on their best behavior. In some pastoral situations, that reality makes me squirm—I usually don’t like people to put on a false front when I’m around. But when I stand between two angry people, I’m thankful for the forbearance that my office encourages. • Accountability. On occasion, I’ve had to warn warring members that they were jeopardizing their opportunities and privileges in church by their ongoing strife. If they don’t settle, I tell them, they’ll forfeit leadership roles, ministry functions (such as choir), and ultimately church membership. I’m not waving a stick at that time; I’m simply informing them of the implications of their stubbornness. No one should minister whose spiritual life is crippled by a refusal to restore relationships. No one should continue as a member who blatantly ignores Scripture and church leaders. And although committee members can bring others to accountability in this way, sometimes it takes a word from the pastor to drive the point home." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

2895 | Bible Study | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 182748 | ||
Hi Cuddle, I've been using the Libronix Scholars Library for the past several years. It is both very effective and efficient for study. I also have the complete works of C.H. Spurgeon and have recently added Jonathan Edwards/Timothy Dwight (his grandson) to my hard drive. I also have a Dell laptop that has all of the Bible software loaded on it. Though I'm far from being a "techie", I've seen the benefit of going almost entirely electronic for my study library. I stll have several Bibles/Books/Commentaries outside these resources that I utilize regulary. I hope this helps, BradK |
