Back in October, 2003 I preached a sermon called, "Who Hid My Will?!" You should have seen the folks' eyes when I said I had 30 points to make! Well, here they are, if you want to know how God has revealed His will for you from 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5:27, a passage flanked by the phrase, "This is the will of God"...
1. your sanctification
2. love one another
3. aspire to lead a quiet life
4. mind your own business
5. work with your own hands
6. walk properly towards those who are outside the faith
7. don't be ignorant concerning dead Christians
8. have hope (i.e., in the Resurrection)
9. watch and be sober
10. comfort one another
11. edify one another
12. recognize those who labor among you
13. esteem them for their work
14. be at peace among yourselves
15. warn those who are unruly
16. comfort the fainthearted
17. be patient with everybody
18. see that no one renders evil for evil
19. pursue what is good for yourself and others
20. rejoice always
21. pray without ceasing
22. in everything give thanks
23. don't quench the Spirit
24. do not despise prophetic utterances
25. test all things
26. hold fast to what is good
27. abstain from every form of evil
28. pray for us
29. greet the brethren cordially
30. read Ephesians to Christians
To quote Sean Connery from "The Untouchables"..."thus endeth the lesson!"
Got any questions?
