Synopsis

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:

  1. The Law and Godliness - why the Old Testament law could never make a person godly.
  2. A Life of Godliness - how both men and women can lead lives that are godly.
  3. The Evidence of Godliness - what is the proof that we're godly people?
  4. The Mystery of Godliness - how Jesus is our ultimate example of godliness.
  5. The Discipline of Godliness - what it's going to take for us to become godly
  6. The Doctrine of Godliness - the connection between godliness and the truth of God's word.
  7. The Gain of Godliness - the reward in store for those that are godly
  8. The Pursuit of Godliness - fleeing, following and fighting in order to be godly
  9. The Language of Godliness - making sure what we say is godly
  10. The Power of Godliness - avoiding having a form of godliness but denying its power
  11. The Desire and Trials of Godliness - overcoming the obstacles that inevitably come with godliness.

Also included are a series of Supplementary Study Questions on 1 & 2 Timothy under the heading "Dealing with the Local Church"
