Never settle spiritually - press on to "increase more and more" as Paul wrote to the Thessalonians. Part of the epistle contains simple instructions that we should take to heart to achieve this increase: Aspire to live a quiet life; Mind your own business -there's work to do for God; Remember its not all about us -in fact its for the majority of the world that doesn't yet know God.
