Set Ablaze: Fanning the Flame of Your Soul and Service: An Expository Study of 2 Timothy

by J.R. Raines

In Set Fanning the Flame of Your Soul and Service, author J. R. Raines unpacks the principles of a lifestyle of service to God, laid out by the apostle Paul in his parting counsel to a young, timid first-century church leader named Timothy. A chapter-by-chapter exegesis of 2 Timothy combined with real-world application and Raines' own extensive cross-cultural ministry experience offer a practical guide for today's Christian who desires to see their faith and ministry fanned into a blazing Holy Spirit flame. It also addresses the dangers that can derail God's servants when personal and spiritual fires are allowed to grow cold. Timothy's life and death bear witness that in every generation God can take a person plagued with fear and transform them into a mighty servant of God set ablaze with the "Spirit of power, love, and a sound mind" (2 Timothy 1:7). This book is an ideal guide for those seeking to mentor faithful followers of Jesus Christ, "who will be able to teach others also" (2 Timothy 2:2).

A good New Testament Bible study. Some of the text is almost too small to read.

A wonderful book to use for one on one discipleship. A chapter a week with a few discussion questions and going deeper suggestions at the ends of sections. This will probably take you through a year of discipleship. Pair that with listening to the entire book of 2 Timothy every month and using the section prayers to guide your prayer focus for the month: your faith and service will definitely look different at the end of the year!!

Here’s a devotional study of 2 Timothy filled with illustrations from the authors experience in ministry overseas. There’s 36 short chapters, with a point for reflection and application at the end of each, as he encourages our faith, and subsequently our ministry, to be set ablaze for the kingdom of God, in whatever-and wherever- he has called us to.
