I Thessalonians 1:9-10
A fierce battle was raging during the Civil War in the 1860s. General Sherman was leading the northern troops on a path from Chattanooga to Atlanta and on to the ocean. He was burning everything in his path.
In time, he was involved in a strategic battle at Fort Altoona. The confederates, under the leadership of Captain Hood, knew the North would receive new supplies at Fort Altoona in order to continue their march past Atlanta and on to the ocean.
So the confederates attacked Fort Altoona. As the battle raged, General Sherman was on a nearby mountain with field glasses watching the scene.

Paul, in these verses, speaks in glowing terms about their Christian life and conduct. Their spiritual aggressiveness and their clear-cut separation from the world of idolatry had stamped itself indelibly upon his hea ...
