Comfort and Edify

We need to comfort and edify one another. Comforting one another is so important. We have so many daily struggles that we can become week and weary. Sometimes we fall so head long into life that we seem to be drowning in uncontrollable events. We need each other to be there and comfort us. We must comfort and edify each other in the same way and in the same manner God does. If we refuse to we may seek said comfort from another illegitimate source. That would simply further the tail spin and the desperate need for brotherly comfort. We also need to edify one another in down trodden times and every day. Let us not grow weary of edifying and comforting our brethren. Some may need more than others. We need to be there for all our brethren as God is with us.



“Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.” 1 Thess. 5:11

 Gal.1:3-5

(Romans 14:4) “Who are you to judge another’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.” Romans 14:4 NKJV

Circumstances To Rejoice In

What is a good time to rejoice? What circumstances should cause us to rejoice? Christianity is never without its opportunities to rejoice. We should rejoice when we are under persecution. (Matt. 5:11-12) We should rejoice with others who are full of joy. (Rm. 12:15) We should rejoice in our sufferings. (Col. 1:23-24) We need to rejoice in His salvation. (Isaiah 25:9) Although we might not feel like rejoicing in some of these circumstances we are called to. Joy is more than a feeling it is about knowing. In all circumstance, we know all things belong to God and all things are under His rule. Rejoice in Christ. “ if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister. I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church,” C...
