I Thessalonians Chapter 5 - October 15th, 2008

5:2 - We need to stop making predictions about when the Lord will return, because scripture tells us over and over again - we won't know! We have no idea. It is our job to live in the light and never give up hope for our future...the rest we leave up to God's timing. I personally hope it is soon.

5:11 - He continues with the theme of continually working and building and encouraging each other. Our job as fellow Christians is never done. There are always people to build up and encourage.

5:14 - Great list of leadership goals. Light a fire under the butts of the lazy. Give courage to those paralyzed by fear. Give strength to the weak and be patient with all of them (Because it can get really discouraging!).

5:23 - Awesome benediction! Wow. Anybody can speak this over me anytime they want!

i brought it up 2 days ago -
you brought it up today -

God thought of it 1st -
vs 11 - Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.

How often am I sarcastic or tearing down in the day?

May we encourage and build as we were meant to do (thank you Rob)

peace,
