How does the way a person lives impact your willingness to listen to that person?


The often-used statement of “do as I say and not as I do” is a weak excuse for poor behavior. The person making this statement knows what is wrong with his or her behavior and what changes are needed. Paul was confident this attitude would not be true of the believers in Thessalonica. Instead, they consistently demonstrated love to one another as they daily sought to obey God’s Word. This week we’ll study the important truth that the gospel makes a difference in the way believers love and live.
