As this is our first article, it seemed
appropriate to perform a search of all the uses of the word encourage in the New
Testament. The search was performed on Bible Gateway and the results have been
pasted below. Take a few minutes to review the various verses, and click the
links to see additional text relative to the verse (use your browsers

Testament authors knew the importance of encouragement, and we pray that we
might provide such encouragement to you via these pages in future
articles.
