As we've learned, the letter of Paul to the Philippians was written from prison and verses 12-16 of chapter 3 describe Paul's progress in the Gospel: Through Christ, Not the Law. Paul emphasizes the need for progress in Christian living, presenting himself as one who continuall...

Jude 1-4 Devotional

Start by reading Jude 1-4 Jude immediately separates the church into two groups by only addressing those "called beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ" (v. 1). "Kept" refers to those in the church, the church being the betrothed bride of Christ. Unlike other letters in the New Testament where the author addresses all his listeners or simply begins his messag...

Romans 12:1-2 Devotional

Begin by reading Romans 12:1-2 Before we parachute into chapter 12 of Romans, I thought it might be helpful for context to ask ourselves what the "therefore" is there for in verse 1, especially since Paul is appealing to the reader, on the grounds of mercy, to be living sacrifices. Some topics previously covered so far by Paul in Romans, were first the bad news of humanit...

Right out the gate in verse 3, Paul pulls the Apostle trump card b...

What do you do in that situation?Here's Paul's answer: support one another and humbly bear up under it, trusting that the Lord will take vengeance. He gives us two ways to d...
