Around the world right now, we are seeing strife and division with #protests, #looting, and #riots.  Many want to #StandUp and be seen as #oppressed.  In this message, we see Paul writing from his wrongful imprisonment not lamenting his situation, but rather encouraging the church at Philippi to unite around one another.  Stability in the Lord produces what?  The enemy’s common trick is to inflate our sense of being right while blinding us to the view from the other side.  How can we counter this by ‘being of the same mind’ of Christ?  That’s even better than seeing the other person’s point of view.  Why does Paul request a third person to help with this dispute between two ladies in the church?

The LIVING GOD #RESPECTS

When was the last time you observed “respect” being shown?  Possibly you saw others respectfully remembering someone at a funeral; however, many of those services have ceased.  As a child I noticed all the men tipping their hat to the young and old women as they passed on the sidewalk and if they came to the entrance of a store, the man would always open the door for her thereby showing his respect.  Today…many people rush to get there first or let me open the door for them without so much as a thank you.  “Respect” Has it flown out the window with our explosion of knowledge?  The Word of God tells us who is worthy of HIS esteem.  In Exodus 2 the children of Israel were slaves in Egypt when God heard their groaning and remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.  25.”God looked upon the children of Israel, and GOD HAD RESPECT UNTO THEM”   Are you in your own bondage today?  Could it be sickness, strife, wheelchair, depression, relationships, money, drugs, family, work, or unknown?  “Though the LORD be high, yet hath HE RESPECT UNTO THE LOWLY; but the proud HE knows afar off.  Though I walk in the midst of trouble, God will revive me: He shall stretch forth His hand against the wrath of my enemies, and His right hand shall save me.” Ps.138:6,7  May we learn ‘R E S P E C T’ from the great I AM who is a memorial to all generations.
