Greeting Card Christianity vs. Gritty Following of Christ

Here in the wrap-up to his letter to his friends in Philippi Paul realizes he’s got a few more things to say.  Maybe he saved them for the end because he knew they were going to be tough for the Philippians to hear and do.  Maybe they were just the loose ends that we all have when we’re about to say goodbye for a long time to someone we love.  Regardless, Paul gives four challenging directives that he himself has found the power to attain.  These are four directives that we ought to follow--with God’s strength-in our own time, culture, and circumstances.

 I look forward to sharing what I’ve learned with you on Sunday!
