    Paul challenges the believers at Thessalonica to do three things as a mark of Christ's followers. Rejoice always, Pray continually and praise God without ceasing. He reveals that this is the will of God. Hard core values of true identity of Christians. Hard to follow. Try it.

Why is that? Two weeks ago, we discussed how the relationship between a rabbi and his students was ...read more
