How do you measure up?

Paul was on an important mission, to establish churches where Christ’s name had never been heard.
  At times Paul was persecuted, but God’s word still went out, changing lives.
  Later, Paul would write to those churches and the letters were encouraging them to continue to follow the Lord Jesus Christ and His words.

  1 Thessalonians 5:14-18 “We urge you, brethren, admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with everyone.
¹⁵ See that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek after that which is good for one another and for all people.
¹⁶ Rejoice always;
¹⁷ pray without ceasing;
¹⁸ in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

Think about this!

How you believe matters.
What you believe matters.
How you live matters.
What you do matters.
