Did you know that the Bible calls us to encourage each other and build each other up?—that it’s a clear directive, not a suggestion or a request? Living this way does not come naturally, however, and can seem like a foreign concept in today’s world. As a result, many of us may want to live as encouragers but do not know where to start. Author Christine Sponsler is here to shed some light on the topic, providing an in-depth look at the Lord’s instructions to believers in 1 Thessalonians 5:11 and discussing in practical terms what it looks like to encourage each other and how we can implement this in our daily lives.
