Proving

St. Paul's concluding remarks to the Thessalonian church is to encourage them to be always joyful, prayerful and thankful that they are part of the Body of Christ. Invite the Holy Spirit to move to encourage the faint hearted, speak tenderly to the weak and be patient with everyone. However he warned to verify the truth of whatever is said from the Word of God. In a world that has all kinds of thoughts and teachings floating around, he said if anything does not line up with the Word of God, do not hesitate to abstain from that which is evil.

1 Thessalonians 5:21-24
21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.
