I have finished the Race. I have kept the faith. - Paul in 2 Timothy 4:7  Question: If the Christian life is a race  have you ever felt like quitting?  Timothy did. This young minister was in trouble  under fire  and overwhelmed. So the apostle Paul picks up his pen while in prison and writes Timothy a letter. Paul knows this is his last imprisonment. In just a few short months-or weeks-he will face execution. Second Timothy is the last known letter we have from the apostles hand  and in it he issues to Timothy essentially one charge: DONT QUIT! Be faithful. Persevere. Endure. Dont give up. Dont give in. Keep running. Stay on the track  Timothy! Finish strong!  Paul is forging in Timothy  a finish-line faith.  This letter helps shape that kind of resilient faith  God doesnt remove hardship from our lives  but in 2 Timothy  He provides the wisdom needed to overcome hardship. These words gave new strength to Timothys faltering faith  and they will shoot adrenaline through your weary soul.  In this readable study  Matt Proctor weaves Biblical teaching with practical principles. As we eavesdrop on Pauls advice to his beloved son in the faith  we too will develop finish-line faith. Like a track coach encouraging his athletes  Proctor urges his readers to remember the importance of our mission  and to rely on Gods strengthening grace to finish strong.  Matt Proctor has served as a youth minister  preaching minister  Bible college professor  and is now president of Ozark Christian College in Joplin  Missouri. Matt is a lifelong St. Louis Cardinals fan  loves traveling widely to preach about Jesus  and thanks God for his wife  Katie  and their six children: Luke  Lydia  Clara  Carl  Conrad  and Caroline.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45652733820981,"sku":"ByrdShop_0899005632","price":61.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780899005638.jpg?v=1781852585","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/finishline-faith-going-on-when-you-feel-like-giving-in-9780899005638","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
