December 31 / Reflections
Reflections Dear RTB’ers, No scheduled reading today. Evidently STS is set for 365 days and February 29 this year claimed one of those days. So today we reflect on 2024. Thus far we’ve read one Gospel (Luke); Acts; nine epistles (I and II Thessalonians, Galatians, Romans, I and II Corinthians, I and II Timothy, and …
December 30 / II Timothy 4
II Timothy 4 Dear RTB’ers, Paul was writing some 2000 years ago, but his words sound like they were written directly for today: For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions… (v. 3) [NOTE: The NASB …
December 29 / II Timothy 3
II Timothy 3 Dear RTB’ers, My first-ever RTB group was in 1994 at St. James Episcopal Church in Mt. Airy, Maryland. Like this year we used Search the Scriptures as our study book – except that we did three days at a time instead of one and finished the Bible in one year. And, like …
December 28 / II Timothy 2
II Timothy 2 Dear RTB’ers, I’m sure I’ve shared this before; it’s the first thought on my mind whenever I read today’s chapter. 2 Tim 2:2, a “calling card” for young Campus Crusade for Christ students: … what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will …
December 27 / II Timothy 1
II Timothy 1 Dear RTB’ers, II Timothy – today we begin our last book for 2024, another of Paul’s letters to his “son”, Timothy. It was not difficult for us to see Paul’s motivation in writing to Timothy in his first letter – it was mostly church matters. It’s more difficult to pick that up …
December 26 / Titus 3
Titus 3 Dear RTB’ers, It is fairly rare for us to see the members of the Trinity mentioned in one sentence in the Bible, but here we have it: But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, He saved us … in accordance with His mercy, by the washing …
December 25 / Titus 2
Titus 2 Dear RTB’ers, SURPRISE!! Titus 2:11-14 was one of the readings at our St. Andrew’s Christmas Eve service. I love it when our RTB readings show up in our service sheet! Here is that selection: For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly …
December 24 / Titus 1
Titus 1 Dear RTB’ers, Titus. Titus is another of Paul’s “pastoral” epistles, Paul writing as a pastor to a member of his “flock”. This flock member, however, is very special to Paul. He gets some dozen mentions in Paul’s letters, especially in II Corinthians which we just read recently, where Titus was called upon by …
December 23 / I Timothy 6:3-21
I Timothy 6:3-21 Dear RTB’ers, Paul shares two reflections on wealth in today’s reading. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. I Timothy …
