In order to grow, we must be willing to first become vulnerable so that we are
capable of learning and changing. A soft heart is the only kind that can grow.
Our constant work in overcoming the ways of this world requires becoming
vulnerable over, and over again.

Paul’s Letter to the Philippians – Part 8
In this final installment, we discuss how Paul learned to be content and self-sufficient, and to be full and hungry. We will also see how our gifts abound to our account; and why God views our gifts to others as acceptable sweet-smelling sacrifices.
Standards
God provides us a standard in the Law, by which he judges our righteousness. Since we all fall short of perfection, we must rely on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for our justification. Therefore, it is His example that we must follow, using the life of Jesus Christ as the standard we live by.
For We Are Firstfruits
We have a specific calling at this time, a gift from God, and a responsibility that we must uphold so we can make it to the Kingdom, for we are firstfruits.
The Power of God
There are examples for us found in the written Word of God that attest to and proclaim the infinite power of God. Understanding and believing in the power of God is an absolutely crucial key for those who seek to obey the true gospel of God!
The Mystery of Understanding
Why is it that you can understand what millions of people cannot comprehend today? Why is it that you came to repentance and faith and a desire to obey God? Do you realize that you have been specifically called and chosen by God to become part of His firstfruits in this day and age? And do you also recognize the tremendous responsibility which accompanies your calling?
A Light in Darkness
Our example and they way in which we shine our light to the world is an important tool usable by God. But it takes an effort on our part to keep our light shining brightly in a world ruled by darkness.
Paul’s Letter to the Philippians – Part 7
In the first seven verses of chapter 4, Paul tells us that we must stand fast in God and resolve our differences with one another. He also shows us how we can have peace of mind in times of trials.
Correct Contentment
As Christians, we are to be content with the things which we have. But many confuse contentment with complacency. If we don’t use the blessings that we have been given, we will lose them.
How Trials Can Help Us
Many times it takes us having to go through a trial to realize that our lives need to change. It’s a good way for God to wake us up. We need to be able to see that God must be in charge in all areas of our lives.
