A Challenge to Holy Living

(From the Desk of Late Rev. Elisha James)

1 Thessalonians 5:16-22

Be joyful always                                             V. 16

Pray continually                                             V. 17

Give thanks in all circumstances, -

For this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus V. 18

Do not put out (quench not) the Spirit’s fire           V. 19

Do not treat prophecies with contempt      V. 20

Test everything                                              V. 21

Hold on to the good                                      V. 21

Avoid every kind of evil                                 V. 22

Ravi Zacharias quotes 

. “Changes in language often reflect the changing values of a culture.” 

.  “I am absolutely convinced that meaninglessness does not come from being weary of pain; meaninglessness comes from being weary of pleasure. And that is why we find ourselves emptied of meaning with our pantries still full.” 

.  “Worship is a posture of life that takes as its primary purpose the understanding of what it really means to love and revere God.” 

Evangelism:

"What a man is on his knees before God in secret, that will he be before men: that much and no more." -Fred Mitchell

"Prayer - secret, fervent, believing prayer - lies at the root of all personal godliness." -William Carey
