Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

 (1Th 2:11)  “As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children,”  Paul did not look upon those of the church as pawns to be moved, or people that worked for him. He looked upon them as members of his family – his children. He encouraged them in the things of God. He was there to comfort them in times of distress or failure. And he instructed them in the hard things (charged) as well as the things that are easier to receive. May the Lord take each of us to such as pastor.  Let these words enlighten our ministry towards brothers and sisters in the Lord.
