5 Lessons from the Book of 1 Thessalonians - Tony Evans

Paul wrote to the believers in Thessalonica because false teachers had infiltrated and were threatening damage to the church. He also wanted to challenge the moral laxity that had penetrated the church and to correct
confusion that had arisen concerning Christ’s second coming. Some believers in Thessalonica were suffering for their commitment to Christ, so Paul also wrote to encourage them to remain faithful given that Christ could return at any moment. If these believers would live in light of Christ’s imminent return, they would have lifestyles pleasing to the Lord.

The apostle balanced encouragement, correction, and challenge to call this church to remain faithful to Christ even though things were not going their way. He wanted them to operate with a kingdom mentality so that they would live out the values of God’s kingdom in their daily lives.

My first time using this gsite and by happenstance landed here as I sat penning nuggets for grandsons, 11 & 3. I quite liked the ability to pause, pen &return to upbeat music. Perhaps I didn’t find it a distraction because of my “grandson audience” that I’m focused on in my writing “words to live by”. And since they require a tempo that sorta eliminates their boredom, I became flexible to align w/the music for a temp moment. Kinda nice with keeping them in mind (smile). This might not make sense. But Im new to making comment anyway. So forgive if any are offended.
Blessings & Thanks Dr Evans!

Thank you, Pastor - I enjoyed the 'shorts' but not the music with it - and I love most types of music - I just found this choice obtrusive, and distracting.

Thank you for all your hard work. God bless.

I think the music compliments the daring background scenes ... maybe if it was toned down a tad it would not seem so 🤔 .

[lindaberg]

Sorry Pastor....the way this is presented is extremely distracting and not pleasant! The noise or music. Whatever it is....annoying. The words and movement...everything...
couldn't read it, couldn't concentrate....
I prefer listening you speak!!! Thank you, but no thank you...in this manner.
