Finding Joy in Genuine Worship | Philippians 3:3

From the beginning of our lives, we are indoctrinated with the philosophy that achievement is the key to reward, honor and happiness. This is true academically, athletically and behaviorally. This is also true in the business world, the entertainment industry as well as the halls of government. If this is true in the physical/material world, then it makes sense that it would be true in the spiritual/immaterial world. That’s what the believers at Philippi thought. What do you think?

Preparing for Take-Off, Part 1 | Genesis 31:1-55

Those who are most powerful for God are those who are compelled to walk on the edge
of human failure that God might be all in all. However, before God puts us on that

is precisely what God is doing with you. Buckle-up; this plane is about to head down
the runway.

Finding Joy in Trashing Your Religious Resume’ | Philippians 3:1-9

Christianity is far and away superior to all other supposed religions, and I make no apology for saying so. Why? All other religions put confidence in the flesh. Paul used that phrase in Philippians 3:3 to distinguish Christianity from other beliefs, except he added one little word, the word “no.” Why is Christianity superior to all other religions? Here it is: We . . . put no confidence in the flesh. This is not only a powerful truth for apologetics; it is also a powerful truth that will set you free from the anxiety of both getting right with God and staying right with God. Find rest and refreshment right now.

Remember This! | 1 Corinthians 11:23-25

Jesus worked in memorable ways.  Jesus spoke in memorable ways.  Jesus raised up memorable men.  Jesus brought into being memorable churches.  Yet, Jesus did not specifically ask to be remembered by His miracles, His words, His disciples or the churches which He instituted.  Do you know how Jesus specifically asked to be remembered?  You may be surprised, but you may also be inspired.
