From today’s reading...
In the Lord Jesus Christ, we urge and call on people of this kind to go on quietly working and earning the food that they eat.” 2 Thessalonians 3:12
Lots of tough love today:
- Work or you don’t eat (v10)
- “All the proud and all the evil-doers will be stubble” (Malachi 3:19b)
- Wars and revolutions…nations fighting against nations…earthquakes, plagues, famines…persecution…imprisonment…betrayal…death…hatred are headed our way for those who persevere in the Lord. (Luke 21:5-19)

Stay the course.
Keep the faith.
Endure.
Now go sell something.
