Devoted to Scripture

Day 342 of the podcast, reading 1 Thessalonians 1-5 NET, read along at:
https://netbible.org/bible/1+Thessalonians+1-5/
This is day 342 of our journey.
Paul's first letter to the Church at Thessalonica praises the people for their faithful walk as believers. They had consistently stood their ground in the face of persecution. Paul reminds them of the future return of Christ and encourages them to continue to grow in love and to strengthen their commitment to the Gospel. The people are challenged to live their lives in accordance with Jesus' teachings and to support and encourage one another in every good practice.
Join me in 1 Thessalonians 1-5 and cling to what is good!
