2 Thessalonians 3:1-5 (KJV)
“1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:
2 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.
3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.
4 And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.
5 And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.”
Being accountable in our communities of faith is centered on the Word of the LORD; His Word is transformative. We must surround ourselves with those that is eager for the Word to have “free course;” it is in this intimacy with each other that we are delivered from the unreasonable and wicked folk who are not interested in giving “free course” to the Word. It is amazing that in waiting on Christ to return; and that being the urgency in us, directs us to encounter the love of God as it directs our hearts when we are with both our communities of faith and those who are unreasonable and wicked. “Free Course” works when love is at work in us.
