Great participation
and discussion on Saturday. Thank you
for the input on 2 Thessalonians 2: 13-17.
In our
passage of study, Paul was telling the young Thessalonian church (and us) to
stand firm, know the word/truth, and hold tight to sound teaching.
So we looked
up seven passages of Paul’s teaching to see how we can stand firm, know the
truth, and hold tight to sound teaching.
Here is a list of some of the truths:
Love rules,
above all, trust Jesus, love comes from the heart, be humble, live in the
Spirit not the law, know where you get the power, be in step, do good, do what
is right even when it is tough, don’t give up, all decisions have consequences,
be changed, act different, encourage, have a pleasing attitude, meditate on
THRPPGEW, pursue righteousness, stay strong, be steadfast, be on guard, stand
firm in the faith, be strong, be courageous, and do everything in love.
Wow. That is sound teaching. My
challenge this week is to read through this list every morning. Allow it to be your truth, the teaching you
can hold on to, the reason why you can stand firm.
Be
intentional.
