    Attitudes Toward Circumstances & Critics Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Jun 7, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,194 views

    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.

    We are learning from Paul’s epistle to the Philippians. Our text today is Philippians 1:12-18. Let's read that to get a general feel of what Paul is saying in the passage. “Now I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel. 13 As a result, ...read more

    Be Careful Of Divisive Spirits

    Contributed by Nettie J Pennington on Jun 22, 2023

    People that participate in divisive arguments have an unhealthy interest in creating strife. However, a mature, faith-filled person recognizes that participating in contentious discussions will not end the matter. With the knowledge of God and the wisdom of the Lord, we understand that calmer ...read more
