A Father's Concern Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 7, 2005

Paul wants his readers to move towards perfection. We learn to love one another, to agree with one another, to live in peace with one another

You can almost feel Paul’s frustration as he comes to the end of this letter. He’s done all he could to bring these people to maturity in Christ. He’s begged them, cajoled them, even threatened them and none of it seems to have made any difference. In fact in the end he’s had to resort to utter ...read more

God The Father
