Philippians 1:1-30 Niv
He is not as one who begins to build without having counted the cost. Not as a sculptor who begins to execute a work without having ascertained the impracticable nature of his material. These are the shameful mistakes of men. God is not a workman that will need to be ashamed. He has called together a goodly company of the nobility of heaven to look on, while he brings a holy creature out of your unholy nature. Will he lay down his implements and say, " I miscalculated?"

The Christian life is very simple - if only we understand it. It has only one principle - single-hearted devotion to Christ. Paul stated this principle when he said, "To me to live is Christ" (Philippians 1:21) Jesus states it here also when He says, "Seek first His kingdom, and His righteousness."
In our present passage, we have a whole scheme of life.

Read MoreSaul the Pharisee, who consented to the death of Stephen (Acts 8:1), immediately gave himself to persecuting the Christians. Unless all he had been taught was false, every believer in Christ was a transgressor of the law, and to the support of the law - Paul had devoted his life. Only when his eyes were opened by Christ, did he see his mistake. This should...

To me, to live is Christ. (Philippians 1:21 NIV)
In the wilderness the whole of our
natural life is brought out, and we come to know our weakness and emptiness;
that we have nothing. Thus it is that we now find everything in Christ and so
can go over and possess. What is the secret of possession, of coming into our
inheritance? It is that we have come to the place where...

This is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and
depth of insight, so that you may be
able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of
Christ. (Philippians 1:9,10 NIV)

the enemy has such a successful line in delusions,...

We...

Read MoreRemain in Me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me. (John 15:4 NIV)
He has chosen us from the foundation of the world in Christ. He has selected One
in whom we shall find Him, and in whom alone we shall find Him. All the forces of hell
will be at work, in the...

(Philippians 1:21)
That is the good news of the
all-captivating Christ. When Christ really captivates, everything happens and
anything can happen. That is how it was with Paul and with these people. Christ
had just captivated them. They had no other thought in life than Christ. They
may have had their businesses, their trades, their...

Sometimes it seems that Christians are especially prone to accept passing fads and winds of doctrine. John Blanchard wrote of two tour-bus drivers who were comparing notes. When one mentioned that he had a bus full of Christians, the other said, "Really? What do they believe?" To which the first replied, "Anything I tell them!"
One minute it may be a food fad. Certain foods are denounced as poison and others are credited with almost magical properties. Or it may be a medicinal fad,...
