I Thessalonians 5:6
Excerpted from: How to Know We Love Christ

These people were so far gone already in 50 AD that they were being neglectful—they were going to sleep. Do you remember the parable that Christ gave, all the way back there in Matthew 25, about the ten virgins? They all slumbered and slept, and the Thessalonians were now going to sleep spiritually.

Meaning: Do not get all emotional about this thing, but keep your minds on track using the Word of God. In II Thessalonians, which followed the writing of I Thessalonians by several months, we find the subject gone into again.

I Thessalonians 5:6
Excerpted from: Self-Government and Responsibility (Part Three)

Apparently, Paul is saying here, the people are awake and yet they are asleep. They are awake, but they are not aware. I find that incredible! Maybe they are just ignoring it because they have reached the place where the pressures are so great, the problems so complex and so convoluted that they feel a solution to them is impossible. Maybe that is part of it. If they just ignore it, maybe it will go away. I do not know what the answer is.
