The Day of the Lord
The rapture of the church initiates the beginning of the Day of the Lord. In Thessalonians 5:1-11 Paul focuses on what will happen on the Day of the Lord.

A Servant of God: Four Motives Unworthy of the Gospel
In 1 Thessalonians 1:5-6, Paul shared with the Thessalonian church that he did not have unworthy motives when he and his team went to them and started the church. He did not have any unworthy motives of the Gospel of Christ. These are applicable not only to those who serve in some form of Christian […]

Learning from 1 Thessalonians
1 Thessalonians is a book written by the Apostle Paul. It is short, only five chapters long. It offers so much instructions to us believers. Three years ago I wrote reflections on each chapter. I encourage you to read it and let the Lord speak to you. Chapter 1 Chapter 2 – A Humble Man of […]

Called to Suffer…Even More, A Reflection on 1 Thessalonians 3
No one likes suffering. I certainly don’t. Yet everyone suffers to some degree. We are all part of what we Christians call fallen humanity and a fallen world.
