two today. Yes, we are, sir. And I got to say, Dan, this passage, this chapter, which we're going to

try and dig all the way through in this episode of 30 minutes, is chock full of all sorts of good

scriptural doctrinal data.

There's lots to discuss today.

I think it would be appropriate to describe this

chapter as a real humdinger. How about that? I like it. It's a real humdinger, Dan.

So, all right, first Timothy chapter two, here's how it begins. First of all, then I urge

that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people.

Now, before we go any further, I know we're breaking up a sentence because this is the end of the verse,

but nevertheless, it's just important to emphasize a couple things.

Number one, when Paul talks about all these different sorts of prayers, supplication, prayer, intercession, thanksgivings, he's not necessarily saying it in such a way that you have to go down a list when you pray to make sure that you do all these things.

Rather, the idea is this is just what happens in the language of prayer.

This is what happens when one does come to the Father. We do supplicate him with our needs.

You think about the Lord's Prayer, the Lord's Prayer has all of these things.

We ask for intercession for ourselves
