II Thessalonians 3:16-18 — Finding peace
I couldn’t help but notice the similarity in Paul’s words in verse 16 and his words in I Thessalonians 5:23-24. In the latter, he writes, May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole … Continue reading

II Thessalonians 1 — That God may be glorified in you and you in him
Nobody likes suffering. And it’s easy to question why God allows it. But here we find some answers in Paul’s second letter to the Thessalonians. As I’ve mentioned before, the Thessalonian church was started in the midst of persecution. Paul … Continue reading
