5 You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. 6 So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be alert and self‑controlled. 7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night. 8 But since we belong to the day, let us be self‑controlled, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. 9 For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. 10 He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him.
11 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
1Thess.5
Alert and self-controlled...look around the world we are sojourners through. These conditions are missing in most people today, sadly including many Christians, who flock to "feel good" churches to get spiritually massaged.
So be aware of the times we live in, walking in the light, and as the Word says, continue to encourage and edify one another.
