Pray without ceasing.
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
Quench not the Spirit.
Despise not prophesyings.
Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
Abstain from all appearance of evil.
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. (1 Thess 5:16-24 KJV)
"Rejoice evermore!" This third Sunday of Advent is the Sunday of joy. Oh, if only there would be joy in the world! But, it does not happen because people love darkness. They hold fast to what is evil rather than what is good for not just themselves but for others as well.
Let us abstain from all appearance of evil as best as is humanly possibly so that the world might know the joy that the angel proclaimed and the peace that the whole host of angels proclaimed at the birth of Jesus the Christ our Savior and Lord.
God's Peace - Pr. J.
