"LISTEN UP, YOU MAGGOTS! 1 Thessalonians 3 is all about Paul's desire to know how the Thessalonians are doing in their faith. He sends Timothy to check on them and encourage them to keep the faith. He prays that the Lord will strengthen their hearts so that they can stand up to any kind of suffering or temptation. He also wants them to live a life pleasing to God and to remain blameless in their faith. THAT'S AN ORDER!"
