210: Living a nonstick life | 1 Thessalonians 3:13

How come nothing sticks to Teflon®, yet Teflon ® sticks to pans? Sorry, a silly joke from my youth. But it does tie into our One Verse for today. We are called to live a nonstick life. We should live in such a way that no accusation sticks to us. No, they didn't have Teflon® in the Bible, but the principle remains the same. On this path of life, we can't see how close we get to the edge (sorry for mixing my metaphors). We shouldn't try to push limits and see what we can get away with. We should live a "nonstick" life. If that sounds exhausting, that's ok. 1 Thessalonians 3:13 also tells us that God will strengthen our hearts. He will provide the energy, power, and even rest we need to live a blameless life.   About One Verse One Verse is a short, free podcast devotional designed to help you grow closer to God through less than 5 minutes a day, 5 days a week.
