We discovered that they were a model church for at least three reasons: (1). Their Faithful Service. (2) Their Open Receptivity. (3) ...read more

    Our prayers often look ineffective, but they are like dripping water on the rock of our heart and the stony hearts of other people for whom we pray.

    Tuesday of the 21st Week in Course 2019 St. Monica St. Luke tells us in the sixteenth chapter of the Acts of the Apostles that on his second missionary journey, St. Paul went to familiar communities in Anatolia–Asia Minor–and intended to evangelize all of that huge area.

    Paul commends the church of the Thessalonians for being a model to the others churches. They imitate Paul who avoids all worldly techniques when he brings the Gospel; and who also brings the Gospel with family familiarity. Such gospelling will make believers strong and ready and stand out.

    The difference was plain as day! It was a quick trip to the park on a Saturday evening. Nothing major, just a few minutes with the family to get out the hyper-activity. I didn’t notice it right away, but once it sank in, there was no stopping the waves of sadness, frustration, and anger.

    The Apostle Paul's affection for the Philippian believers, rooted in the visceral compassion of Jesus Christ. Christian love is not a vague sentiment but an sacrificial commitment that must be actively expressed in our relationships with both God and others.
