Marsha's Musings:Facebook/Why We Need to Love Our Fellow Believers in Christ

I'm finding out how good it feels to be productive!  Facebook is nice for keeping up with friends but it has a sneaky way of stealing time out of one's day. It can easily control you if you don't control it.

I must confess that my "break" from Facebook isn't total, I still post updates now and then and I'm not completely ignoring everyone on there. Once a day I'm quickly glancing over the posts just in case there is something that I need to know or want to pray about.

Quiet Time:

Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you, and may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, as we do for you, so that he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints. (1 Thessalonians 3:11-13 ESV)

Observations:

1. Paul desires these Christians to increase and abound in love for one another.  

Do we see this happening in our churches today?  How can we show our love for one another?  Think of something you can do today that will show love for other Christians in the church.

2. Why are we to show love for one another?  That our hearts may be established blameless in holiness at Christ's return. If we are holding grudges, bickering with one another, constantly picking at each other....how can we be blameless and holy? Is this how we want to be acting when Christ returns???
