Straight Outta Context: Philippians 4:13 Series

Contributed by Paul Basehore on Sep 16, 2015

Philippians 4:13 does not say that we can literally do anything. What it does say, though, is that a super-powered God will willingly and repeatedly share His strength with us when things get difficult.

Superheroes are a multi-million dollar enterprise. Superhero movies have more than 13 billion dollars in revenue since 1978 -- and that’s just the movies. Comic book sales in 2015 alone have reached 334 million dollars -- and the year’s not even done yet! In addition, the numbers I just ...read more

God's Hand(S)

Inward Intimacy With Christ

Contributed by Joe Dan Vendelin on Mar 2, 2024

Samson is a story of a man who had an outward consecration but was missing an internal intimacy. Our number one charge as believers is to maintain an inward intimacy with Christ and to work "with God" (instead of "for Him).

Being strong is important. King David told Solomon to “be strong, and show yourself a man” (1 Kings 2:2 ESV) when he gave his final exhortations to him before he passed away. Being strong is part of what we have to do in order to fulfill what God has called us to do. It is true that God has ...read more

The Champion's Anthem

Contributed by Joe Dan Vendelin on Jun 19, 2024

Paul describes what I am calling the "Champion's Anthem" in 2 Corinthians 4:7-10. It's a description of what it means to press into the pain so that God's grace would reign.

Here is my rendition of that– “I am squeezed but not squished, still having hope–even at the end of my rope. I am still in the race, even if I am being chased, and I may be knocked ...read more
