Blameless Behavior Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 7, 2021

Looking back over this defense of Paul, it is no wonder he was used of God the way he was. His courage in severe struggle; his master motive of pleasing God; his attitude of complete sincerity and gentleness, and his blameless behavior all add up to one of the most Christ-like lives ever lived.

These 5 verses conclude Paul’s defense of himself to the Thessalonians, and in them we see clearly that one of the basic secrets of success is to love your work. Paul’s work was reaching people with the Gospel and seeing them mature in the Christian life. He loved this work more than life ...read more

Contributed by Trevor Chuma on Jan 14, 2019

It says, “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or ...read more

In times like ours, how does one keep from lying awake at night with anxiety over what we see in the news every day? In today’s passage, Jesus provides direct insight into how to read the news headlines in a way that brings peace, calm, and courage, rather than anxiety, fear, and cowardice.
