Sacred Joy: Philippians 1.27-30, 3.18-20

As we continue in Paul's letter to the church at Philippi we ask the following question this week:  How shall we live in response to the glorious gospel?  Paul commands a certain conduct from the believers in Philippi.  It is a life lived as one who is a citizen of heaven.  Too many times our conduct reflects a mind that is on the earthly instead of on the kingdom of heaven.  What if we lived differently?  What if our mind was on Christ and the kingdom of heaven more often?  What if we thought biblically and lived biblically?  How would our lives look then?  Our prayer as we look at Paul's letter together this week is that we would strive together to live lives that promote the gospel.  Just think, what if we really did this?
