Straight Talk to the Timid and Reluctant

From the beginning, powerful politicians have found the message of Jesus Christ threatening. To them, the Gospel is a menacing distraction to their personal agenda. Adolf Hitler, for instance, found Dietrich Bonheoffer’s growing voice a nuisance. And the Roman emperor, Nero, saw Paul’s grass roots popularity as a threat to his empire. Today on INSIGHT FOR LIVING, Chuck Swindoll teaches from Paul’s second letter to Timothy … a letter that was written from a dungeon in Rome where Paul awaited execution. He titled today’s sermon STRAIGHT TALK TO THE TIMID AND RELUCTANT.
