    The apostle faced opposition from those outside the church and misrepresentation from some within. But this did not dissuade or distract him from fulfilling God’s call. Through it all, Christ was being preached, which brought him great delight.

Paul’s letter to the Philippians is an excellent example of this. It’s common ...read more
