1/10/18 Reflections

Summary:

  • Reinforce and probe deeper what was conveyed in 1 Thessalonians. Namely:
    1. Only those on Jesus’ side will win in the end; even if it looks the reverse in this life.
    2. Christ can’t return until a great apostasy comes to the church.
    3. Provide for yourselves, don’t become idle and depend on others.

Insights:

  • 2 Thes. 3:1 – good to want the word of God to spread speedily, just don’t compromise on it and do it with God’s power (not yours)

For Brian to obey:

  • Continue laboring in prayer (2 Thes. 3:1)
  • Teach at base level first (e.g. 1 Thes.), and then add depth in additional teachings (e.g. 2 Thes.)
  • Work hard to not be a burden to others.
