As a father, encourage, comfort, and urge your children to live lives worthy of God. 1 Thessalonians 2:11-12
The Holy Scripture is not the word of men, but the word of God which is at work in those who believe. 1 Thessalonians 2:13
We were torn away from you for a short time – in person, but not in thought. 1 Thessalonians 2: 17
I wanted to come to you again and again but Satan stopped us. You are our hope, our joy, our crown, and our glory in the presence of the Lord Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 2:19
I was afraid the tempter might have tempted you and our efforts might have been useless. 1 Thessalonians 2:6
Sin is deliberate and determined independence from God. The Bible alone deals with sin, not “sins.” The first thing Christ confronted in people was the heredity of sin. In the presentation of the Gospel message we have ignored this. – Oswald Chambers
