9Surely you recall, brothers, our labor and toil. We worked night and day so that we would not be a burden to anyone while we proclaimed to you the gospel of God. 10You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous, and blameless our conduct was among you who believed. 11For you know that we treated each of you as a father treats his own children. 12We encouraged you and comforted you as we urged you to walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into His kingdom and glory.
What? They worked and earned their own way paying for food and lodging while proclaiming the Gospel?
Yes, that is how mission trips work, they go into a community working night and day so that they would not be a burden to anyone while they proclaimed to them the gospel of God.
Their conduct as yours must be holy, righteous and blameless among all witnesses and God. For how can someone teach the gospel if he or she is a fraud full of deceit?
Walk in a manner worthy of God, who is calling you to His kingdom and glory!
What is God leading you to do today? To a mission trip? To help the orphans and widows? You can start in your own community. Find a local outreach helping in Jesus name. God will bless you for your efforts.
Blessings, David
