Philippians - New language

'Do everything without grumbling or arguing', says Paul to the Philippians. It's an issue that has plagued the people of God for hundreds of years, and is still an area that trip up many of us and leave us without credibility in the public eye.

Philippians - New default

At the very beginning of his letter, Paul tells the Philippians that there is one thing he prays for them with all the love in his heart, and that is that they would live abandoned to the wisdom and understanding of heaven, so that their lives would be a true reflection of the kingdom of God.

Philippians - New attitude

Studies show that the young generation believe that financial independence is true success and the best way to achieve this is to be at the top of a major corporation. They view any relationship that slows their ascent up the corporate ladder as a drag on their success and are willing to do whatever it takes to take their place at the helm of society.

Philippians - New community

We significantly compromise our chances of maturing in God if we live disconnected from the local church. Grace and peace are experienced in community, the good work He began comes to completion in community, you are carried in the hearts of elders and deacons in community. This is a huge blight on modern Christianity, where so many saints live and think they do just fine as lone rangers.
