This morning I was reading in I Thessalonians 1:8

“For the word of the Lord has sounded forth from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God has gone forth, so that we have no need to say anything”

The figure is of an echo that continues indefinitely (perfect tense, eksechetai, “rang out”)  and implies the persistence of the testimony over an ever-increasing expanse–”not only in Macedonia and Achaia…everywhere.”  The Thessalonians were diligent in communicating their faith to others.

How are you communicating your faith to the community, region, state, nation, and world?

How are you approaching Acts 1:8

“and even to the remotest part of the earth.” ?
