Serving with God's Approval: The Definitive Standard

Thee Roman Empire was full of roving religious quacks and charlatans who were out for self-glory and material gain. Paul and  Silas set themselves apart from such people. They communicated the gospel with success because God, who tests their hearts, approved them, and worked through them despite opposition. If the Thessalonians follow this model, they, too, will have God’s approval.
