Philippians - Count it All Joy - lesson 14

Now in chapter 3 of Philippians, Paul is giving us a contrast of true and false. Urging them to beware of the dogs, of the evil workers, of the false circumcision.

Instead the true circumcision, who

1. worship in the Spirit of God and
2. glory in Christ Jesus and
3. put no confidence in the flesh.

Beware...beware...beware...on the alert.

I appreciate how there is the challenge to know the truth and fill our lives with it. Knowing the whole council of God we are not easily led astray.

I really liked making a list all about Paul from Ch. 3. So many good things packed into that chapter. Things that stuck out to me from my list...

Consider everything loss, rubish
=
gain Christ

Forgetting what's behind, straining for what's ahead!
