A guy memorizing Phil 1:1-18 with us told me he was getting so much from it, he read it to a group recently. Got called a liberal. Gonna tell you right now, a lot of folks putting a checkmark in the Christian square are completely out of touch with the actual Jesus of Scripture.
I grow increasingly concerned that we have a massive population of people who have placed their faith in Christianity rather than Christ. And an odd concoction of Christianity at that. Faith in Christianity is utterly bereft of power to save a single soul.

Jesus saves.
Philippians 2:1-18! Not 1!
So sorry I messed that up, y’all! Thank goodness there are worse things than reading 36 verses of Philippians before 8 AM.

To have enduring friendships that long outlast the circumstances that brought you together, you have to let them change. They ebb and flow, recede and grow. You can spot a codependent relationship by its refusal to adapt. It’s all or nothing. It stays the same or see ya later.
Healthy friendships you can still count on as long as you both draw breath are those that left little room for pettiness & jealousy or score keeping. If your relationship was built on a mutual enemy, you have to keep the enemy to keep the friendship or get a new mutual enemy.
I’ve been reminded over these few last years how much I need friendships. Ones sturdy enough to withstand upheaval. Ones built on appreciation for who the other person is & not for what they do, who they know or who they hate. Let relationships change without picking up your toys

Ok, this is just for those thinking about memorizing Phil 2:1-18 with me. Below are the worst videos ever & done after work today sitting in my car in the Starbucks parking lot. The 1st step is deciding what approach you want to take & acquiring that app or those materials.
An app’s most convenient & coolest but I don’t love it because a lot of the time I practice my memory work is on a walk & I don’t want to be staring at a screen. I get the whole segment printed out just like it appears in my Bible & have it laminated. I know! Pathetic old school.
What you want to do is choose the method that best suits your learning style. This is mine but who’s even gonna go to the trouble to laminate anymore?? I’ve tried every approach and all of them have worked to the extent that I persevered in the discipline but this is my groove.

Hey, y’all, I’m in the process of memorizing Philippians. Memorized it years ago & so mad at myself for not keeping it practiced. It’s not just the memorizing but the retaining that’s challenging. But anyway I’m about to start Ch 2 &, man, is it ever a push back against this era.
Would any of you like to memorize it with me? We could limit the challenge just to verse 18. I’ll go from there to the end of the chapter but it’s those first 18 verses that are like medicine for our ailing souls in this troubling era. I’m memorizing out of the CSB. Want to?
This is a difficult time to memorize because of the distracting state our world and our own lives are in but doing it together vastly increases our success. And let me tell you, we need the implanted word desperately. We’re memorizing all sorts of things right now. Our hates,

Man, it’s rough out there. So much hardship. But the Lord is compassionate, gracious and unfailingly good. He will one day calm every storm, heal every hurt & right every wrong. Till then, gratitude helps immensely. Form the daily habit of watching for grace upon grace from God.
Not just the big things. Small glimpses are in continual eyeshot if we’ll look up from our screens. The sight of something sweet and innocent. The taste of melted chocolate. A pillow under our heads at the end of a long day. A task completed. The sound of a friend’s laughter.
A love song. Enough gasoline to get to work without having to stop & fill up. Whatever it may be, remark to the Lord about it. Tell him how beautiful you think that sunset is. Ask him to make you a blessing to someone and then when—not if but when—he does, thank him right then.

I don’t think anything would aid us more in the here and now, brothers & sisters in Jesus, than keeping in mind what is to come then and there in the new creation. This is what strengthens us to keep our hope and to keep loving in words and actions in these brutal days of global
suffering and unrest. This is what constantly reminds us it will not always be this way. I yearn to see pastors and teachers preach and teach more on what is to come. I believe it would make us more energetic to serve sacrificially if we were constantly reminded this suffering
is momentary and this groaning earth is temporary. I think this is a bit of what Paul was talking about when he said the crown of righteousness awaits those who “love Christ’s appearing.” My reading this morning was out of 1 John 3. I’d love to share verses 2-3 & 14,16 with you:

Good morning, fellow pilgrims. Began 1st Peter today in my daily Bible reading. I took it slow. Just a chapter. Peter’s references to the work of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit from the very top are simply sublime. His talk of joy as we await the revelation of Jesus wrecks me.
“You have not seen him but you love him.” Do you realize what a work of the Holy Spirit this is? What wonder? What mystery? That, with all our heart, soul, mind & strength we love this One we’ve never seen & live our lives to follow him wherever he leads without a single glimpse?
The way is hard but holy. This bond, so sacred. The way we are kept through raging storm, through descent into sin we swore we’d never commit, through heights of worldly pleasures & depths of sorrow and suffering, through slander & human adulation, through numbness & nothingness.
