Paul explains three essential things that can ignite a movement and make a church effective: speaking the Gospel message, having deep personal connections, and instilling lasting convictions. Unwillingness to directly call people to this better way of life is what hinders a movement. The Thessalonians experienced this because they pressed each other towards what was better. God gives His resources for His people to live this way.
