—1 Thessalonians 3:6-13
by: Susan Bond.
Our pastor asked for our support in his decision to go into the mission field. It was voiced by one of our members that the best way we can do that is to carry on faithfully where we are. Paul’s words in 1 Thessalonians 3:8 affirm that: “For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord” (KJV).
If strikes me that our congregation is being given the great opportunity to reach beyond ourselves and thus receive the promise that as the Lord makes us “abound in love one toward another, and toward all men…he may establish [our] hearts unblameable in holiness before God” (v. 12, 13, KJV).
