Wednesday – August 4th – 2 Thessalonians 3:14-15     -----    

3:14 And if anyone does not obey our word in this epistle, note that person and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed.
15 Yet do not count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother. 
 
The Daily Walk Bible inspirational thought for today:
      THE HEART IS A TRIANGLE THAT ONLY THE TRINITY CAN FILL.*

   Welcome to Wednesday!!  Today is the last installment of our Wednesday night Navigating Life speaker series. We are blessed and honored this evening to welcome Doug Rains, Fire Captain for Central County Fire and Rescue. Doug will be sharing insights on how to discover your niche in life while remain true to yourself. Join us at 7pm tonight at the SunRise O’Fallon campus. Reservations are encouraged by clicking on www.sunrisefamily.org/events  And while you are there check out the other great happenings at SunRise in August.
 
    In our pick verses for today, Paul concludes his teachings against idleness as a follower of Jesus.  Paul’s warning includes that as faithful believers we are not to have close fellowship with the disobedient lest we become involved with their same disobedience. Do not associate with them in any way that will cause them, or others observing the situation, to think that you approve of their conduct. Instead live so that your good conduct should encourage them to reevaluate their actions. Paul also points out that instead of completely avoiding these disobedient people we are to do our best to warn them about their actions and encourage them in Jesus’ love and forgiveness. We are to always remember that they are also brothers and sisters in the Lord.

Blessings
  Pastor Jim
