This has been a year of battles for me, stage four cancer being the main battle. There are times in our walk with the Lord that we simply have to stand and fight. Not as the world fights, but fight in Christ alone and stand upon His word, swing the sword, hence the name of the song I wrote. It is a fight song and so for all you saints in the midst of the battle, I encourage you through these words, to stand up , in Christ alone, and swing your sword. God bless my fellow soldiers of the cross……..bro Frank

Understanding Salvation vs. Wrath in 1 Thessalonians
Posted by appolus on January 5, 2025
“For God did not appoint us to wrath.” (1 Thess 5:9) So much has been made of this statement and wrong doctrines have flowed from it. Context always explains the meaning. “For God did not appoint us to wrath but to obtain salvation though our Lord Jesus Christ who died for us.” You see what the opposite of wrath is in this context? Salvation. To be saved is to be safe from not being saved. It does not mean that we shall avoid persecution or tribulation. In fact in Chapter three of 1st Thessalonians Paul writes “no one should be shaken by these afflictions (what afflictions? those who killed their own prophets and have persecuted us-chapter 2 verse 15) Not only should we expect persecutions and afflictions, Paul states categorically “we are appointed to this.” Another word for appointed is “ordained.”
