1 Thessalonians 3:5 - Additional Comments

There are few things more disappointing than when you have given your time and your heart to help someone draw closer to God, and they made good progress, and you later go to see them, and they have fallen away from the faith, or had just not sought any more to have a close relationship with God. Paul sent Timothy (vs 2) to check on them and to encourage and build them up in their afflictions.
