"That ye be not soon shaken in mind...." 2Thess. 2:2
The apostle Paul addresses the issue of the Lord's return and reassures the believers at the Thessalonian church. The confidence and faithful stance of believers, particularly those young in the faith, can often be shifted, weakened or shaken. Among other reasons, this can happen when doctrines, opinions or ideas are listened to or believed, which may appear correct, but if analysed carefully, would fail to line up to and be consistent with the Scriptures. It is our duty and privilege as Christians to thoroughly try, test and measure up to God's Word all things, before we adopt, support or believe a matter. It is conversely also our duty, once we have tested and tried by the measure of God's Word, to faithfully uphold the truth we have learned and seen in scripture and not to compromise it or deviate from it, regardless of who may dislike us or disagree.
