In 1 Timothy 6:11, Paul urges Timothy to “pursue” a number of qualities, one of which is eusebeia, translated “godliness.” This is a term that Paul uses frequently in the letter. (See 2:2, 3:16, 4:7, and 6:6.) It describes a state of spiritual fitness, and it is expressive of another English word that has largely fallen out of fashion: piety.

Dear Friend,
Are you getting ready for Christmas? And if so, what’s involved? Making preparations for food, presents, travel, and festive gatherings are expected and familiar. The joy of family reunions combined with the sights and sounds that bring good cheer provide moments of reflection and wonder. Perhaps, like me, you have to admit just how easy it is to be distracted by what is good and even miss out on what is best. It is one thing to sing, “Let every heart prepare Him room,” while personally failing to make the necessary preparations.
