*Even More!*
*I Thessalonians 4:1-2; 10-12*
* *
Paul is a great *coach*.
I've had some *good *coaches in my day and some *bad *coaches.
*Good *coaches *tell *you *what *to do.
*Good *coaches *encourage *their players when they *accomplish *the objective; *but *then *call *them to *step it up*.
To *go further*.
>"You hit the *basket*, now let's *increase *your *arch *and make it again, *this time *nothing but net."
>"You *won *the race, but now *let's lower *your time"
>"You *lowered *your time, but I think you've *still *got *something *in you, let's *lower *it *again*."
>"You got the *ball *on the *green*, now let's get it *closer *to the hole."
*Looking back *at the *previous *parts of the letter gives us insight into the lives of these people whom Paul writes to.
I think Paul *sensed *a *wavering*.
He says "you've *suffered much*, but accepted the teaching with Joy"
He told them that they had "become an *example*" as "*teachers*" and with "great *faith*"
They had "*left behind*" old gods~/authorities~/objects of worship
They *look forward *to Christ's Return
Then He says "I'm *afraid *the devil *tempted *you"
*READ 4:1-2; 11-12*
*Coach Paul *says "nice shot" "good game" "*Let's Step it Up*"
* *
*Are you living *for Jesus?
Is there *room *for *more*?
What will "more" *cost *you?
What will "more" *earn *you?
