For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing. — 1 Thessalonians 1:8

What kind of reputation does your church obtain? What vision do you have for the church you attend? We all have such limited sights for our churches. Only a few months old, the church in Thessalonica had gained a reputation for spreading its members’ religion throughout the Roman Empire. Now that’s the kind of reputation I hope the church I work with to obtain! What about you?
