For those of you who know me, you know that I love making music. When I was younger I spent many years writing, performing, and traveling. I moved to Nashville, had songs on the radio, and was able to write and play with some great names in the industry. Doors were starting to open and
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. It’s easy to talk a good and righteous game, but we all fall short of the love of God. Today when I got up I wrestled in my mind with so many things. And it can be frustrating. Let’s get

In this chapter, Paul is writing to the church in Thessalonica and sharing with them the encouraging report that came back to him from Timothy who he had sent there in his place.
