And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
This week is dedicated to my good friend, brother and companion Chuck Childs. You are greatly missed!
And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
The word consider (kata noeo) describes a mental assessment of another’s condition
kata - up and down
nous - a thorough process
Together, it refers to place yourself in the shoes of another’s situation.
- • How would you feel if this was you?
- • How would you respond if this happened to you?
- • How would you want someone to treat you?
Chuck had a gift of knowing just what to say, how to say it and when to say it... when it came to people and their problems, he always would remind me that if it were him in need, he would want to be treated in a certain way...
Provoke (paraxusmos)
para - to be beside; attached to
xusmos - to excite; to stimulate with a sharp instrument
Chuck always made it his priority to excite and stimulate all of us to continue our love for one another and serve the Body of Christ unselfishly.
Keep the Faith, my friends...
Pastor Jody
