“It’s just easier, you know? I click the link, sip coffee in my pajamas, and even get a little housework done during the boring parts.”

“Plus I don’t worry about the kids getting antsy. God is there where two or three are gathered, right?”

The people in Berea were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica. They were so glad to hear the message Paul told them. They studied the Scriptures every day to make sure that what they heard was really true.

And continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their meat with gladness and singleness of heart.

“What a great sermon!”

“I just can’t get enough of him, can you?”

“I don’t know how he does it week after week. But he does!”

And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.

“And the worship! I felt transported!”

“The worship is the best around, for sure.”

Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe; for our God is a consuming fire.

Speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your hearts to the Lord.

And God watched. He heard their voices and music and words. And He listened to what hearts were saying.
