“Already you have all you want! Already you have become rich! Without us you have become kings! And would that you did reign, so that we might share the rule with you! For I think that God has exhibited us apostles as last of all, like men sentenced to death, because we have become a spectacle to the world, to angels, and to men. We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are held in honor, but we in disrepute. To the present hour we hunger and thirst, we are poorly dressed and buffeted and homeless,”

All,
This stands out because Paul says, “We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong.” How do we handle disagreements of the Bible now? Do we honestly seek the will of God or how it will serve us? I find it very easy to obey what I would obey naturally and then rationalize the parts that are difficult to me. However Christ wants all of us and the mindset that comes with that characteristic. Please pray that we and our friends love God with all of our hearts, souls and minds. Please pray for Phil’s group.
