2. READ: 1 TIMOTHY 2:1-8
[1 Timothy 2:1] "I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone-- [2] for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. [3] This is good, and pleases God our Savior, [4] Who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the Truth. [5] For there is One God and One mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, [6] Who gave Himself as a ransom for all men--the testimony given in its proper time. [7] And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle--I am telling the Truth, I am not lying--and a teacher of the true faith to the Gentiles.
[8] "I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing."
