—1 Thessalonians 4:8-12
by: Johnmark Camenga.
How do we who have been set apart live a quiet life? Are we to withdraw to our shells, shut out the world, and pretend all is well? Not at all. We are told it is "blessed" to be "reviled for the name of Christ," but not to "suffer as a.troublesome meddler" (1 Peter 4:14-15). If our lives have become so noisy that we scare off the same people we are supposed to be reaching, then we are hurting ourselves and the kingdom.
