    This is an exposition of 1 Thessalonians 2.

    The moment is now. Decision time. Will you obey God? That is the choice that we face on a daily basis. Will I obey Gods word today, or will I go about life on my own?

    Contributed by Paul Apple on Jan 13, 2010

    Supernatural boldness in church planting validates authentic ministry when based on pure motives and proper conduct (the marks of Spirit-filled church planters).

What is impressive from studying Paul and Silas and Timothy is their confidence and ...read more
