Words of the week

​Some believers find themselves being the only saved person in a city. This isn’t a very good feeling, because the saint is surrounded by all kinds of perverted behavior without backup from other believers.   Even the apostle Paul felt that way while he was in Athens awaiting the arrival of other saints to help him with the evangelism.  The bible teaches us that his spirit burned as he saw the whole city addicted to sin. Acts 17.13-16.
 
And remember this, Athens was addicted to sin because no one had ever challenged the life that they were living.  And that is where it will begin for every believer who finds himself in such a situation.  The system of living will need someone to stand up and say, “I want to show you another way!”   Acts 17.22.    Now don’t get me wrong, I’m positive that won’t be easy, but people who stand up are counted by many, as worthy of respect.

Jesus knew it was best to send teachers two by two, that way they could encourage one another. Luke 10.1.  Eccl 4.9-12.  Let us not be afraid, the Lord is with us. Acts 18.9-10.   Pray about it and get ourselves pumped up and do what you can, but never plan to keep yourself alone, find a believer willing to work with you. Acts 8.5-15. Acts 13.1-5.
