“Humility is not somehow detached from the pursuit of righteousness. Humility does not seek to avoid the offence of the gospel…Genuine humility puts others before themselves while still submitting to God’s word…Genuine humility is deference to God, which in turn causes a deference towards others…”
Living for Christ and His Gospel (Philippians 1:12-30)
“Our work is not done on earth until the day that God has appointed for us to die. So does this align with your own view? Do you see you continuing life as an opportunity for fruitful labour as necessary for the benefit of others? As soon as Christ bought us our purpose in life has become serving Christ. The effect of that: pleasing Christ should be so exalted above other things in our lives that we count all other things as rubbish or trash…(Phil 3:8)”
The Heart of Evangelism (Philippians 1:1-11)
“Paul had an unyielding disposition of joy that was rooted in God’s faithfulness to mature His churches…Whenever Paul thought of the Philippian believers, his heart was immediately and consistently moved to an attitude of thanksgiving and praise to God, for what God was doing in the church in Philippi…Paul’s prayer is that we will embody what we learn from the Bible. True knowledge of the Bible is thus not something detached from our love of God and others, but is as a container that God increasingly fills for our love to abound more and more…So be diligent, learn the Scriptures; trust, and seek to have God’s love poured into your knowledge. And use it for what is excellent and praiseworthy, so that God may be glorified in us, and cause us to grow in His ways.”
Philippians 2:3-11 (One Another)
“The stand-alone message of: “do better” has no place in the gospel presentation apart from being a necessary consequence of understanding that Christ has done better on our behalf. Our ability to do better, our desires to do better - and our desires to follow these ‘one another’ passages of scripture - must be understood as flowing from this Grace Alone through Faith Alone reality”
