Today we read the third chapter of First Timothy and two chapters of Jeremiah
September 17: 1 Timothy 3, Jeremiah 9, Jeremiah 10 (click on the chapter to begin reading).
1 Timothy 3. The Apostle Paul defines the qualifications of overseers and deacons, all because of the great mystery of godliness.
Jeremiah 9. “The weeping prophet” Jeremiah mourns for the people and the people mourn in judgment.
Jeremiah 10. The fight is spiritual: God versus idols. Yet, Jeremiah prophesies about the coming captivity of Judah, which leads to Jeremiah’s prayer.
