(This QT reveals to me The Lord God The Gatherer)

'Strongly Persuaded.'
2 Timothy 1:12.
a) Apostle Paul was suffering because he was telling other people the Good News.
b) Apostle Paul wrote that he was not ashamed.
c) Because he knew the One in Whom he had Believed.
d) He was:-
1-Strongly Persuaded.
2-Sure.
3-Convinced.
4-Confident.
e) That He was able to keep that which Apostle Paul committed to him.
f) Until that Day, the final Day of Judgment and Reward.
(Through this Second one I agree with Paul in that I Am Strongly Persuaded)

Chris.
God loves to gather His People together. He does this firstly in His Church. The Church is supposed to be the Family of God, coming together to Worship Him. He also loves to gather His People to serve Him. Especially in the ministries of evangelism and other forms of outreach, when God gathers His People for that task. Thirdly, we are usually weak at this, God gathers True Believers together to demonstrate His Love (across the board) in the town or village community in which we live. Jesus, when on this Earth, was so obviously concerned about those who were 'outside'. As Churches so should we be.
