Attitudes Toward Circumstances & Critics Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Jun 7, 2020

In Phil. 1:12-18 we get a glimpse of Paul's attitude toward his circumstances and his critics. Paul sees beyond what Satan is doing and rejoices in what God is doing. He does not allow contentious, sectarian Christians to irritate him.

It is not a law that is applied to some people; it is a law that applies to everyone. Jacob’s sons lived an ungodly life. • In Shechem, ...read more
