To read the Bible in a year, read First Thessalonians 2 on October 14, In the year of our Lord 2014

By Don Ruhl

Beware of a preacher who shows more interest in getting from you than in giving to you. The Holy Spirit gave us the example of Paul, as he reminded the brethren in Thessalonica of his ministry among them,

So, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God, but also our own lives, because you had become dear to us. For you remember, brethren, our labor and toil; for laboring night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, we preached to you the gospel of God (1 Thessalonians 2.8–9). 

That is the kind of preachers we need today. That is the kind of Christians we need. What kind of follower of Christ are you?
