    Why do we have so little impact on our world? Why are we so much like the world, and so un-like our heavenly Father? The second half of Philippians ch 1 challenges us to get our priorities right - the Gospel is all that matters!

You take on their customs and habits. You wear their clothes, eat their food, learn their language. You love ...read more
