Reading God’s Word: 2 Thessalonians 1, Psalm 104

Memorizing God’s Word: Luke 8:18 Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they think they have will be taken from them.”

Meditating on God’s Word: 2 Thessalonians 1:3 We ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another is increasing.

Praying God’s Word: “Lord, if someone were to write a letter or a news article about the Church of the Open Door, I wonder what their observations would conclude. Would they witness a church that is growing more and more in love and faith?  Or would they see a church that is crumbling under the weight of hardships and suffering?  Oh, that we would be a church that perseveres and stands strong when trials arise. A church that is counted worthy of your calling and of your kingdom.  A church where you are glorified in everything. Amen.”
