1Th5

Warn, comfort, and help! These are all specific commands that we are to apply to each other. All three are to be done with patience.
Warn the irresponsible. Comfort the discouraged. Help the weak.

Everyone needs something. Everyone needs something different. Some need a warning. Others need a listening ear. Still others need assistance. Paul's encouragement to the recipients of this letter would be to focus on others and take action to build their faith.

Are you in need of a warning? Do you need to be encouraged? Are you the one who needs help? I pray you will find whatever you need in the community of faith. That is what the church is to provide in our lives. On the other hand, are you warning others? Are you helping those in need? Are you an encouragement to those around you? This is what it means to be the church.

Live strong today. Live to please God.
