  1. Philippians 1:12-26 Living life to the fullest. HE DIED FOR ME I’LL LIVE FOR HIM

  2. Paul in chains Philippians 1 Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, 19for I know that through your prayers and the help given by the Spirit of Jesus Christ, what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance. 20I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. 21For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. 22If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! 23I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; 24but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body. 25Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, 26so that through my being with you again your joy in Christ Jesus will overflow on account of me.

No books, no film, even our electronic/digital media would be totally given over to decay. Even those radio waves in spacedegrade to mere static within 2 years of leaving earth. Can we have meaning or purpose?Are joy or hope reasonable? There is only Nothing.

  4. For Romans, the Empire was your purpose Caesar is Savior and Lord. Rome is the provider of peace. Death is supposed to be a deterring punishment! Joy is irrelevant. Submission to the power is all. 2Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. (a treasonous statement)

What matters most? What matters?

  27. Philippians 1 and to die is gain. 21For to me, to live is Christ What matters? Is there a purpose, a design, a reason for all of this that carries us thru the best and the worst? Is there more than meets the eye and satisfies Rome?

  28. Philippians 1 Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, The spellchecker said that this is right. • God’s provision for Paul included stoneings, shipwrecks, beatings, false accusations and the like. He actually found that what we might see as adversities to be the means of advancing his proclamation of the gospel. • He did not just rejoice in hindsight. • He knows how the story ends. • You party at harvest. • Smells like money in the fall.

  29. Philippians 1 Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, 19for I know that through your prayers and the help given by the Spirit of Jesus Christ, what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance. The term that Paul uses here does not refer to a casual request, but rather to an urgent appeal. Do our prayers legitimately effect outcomes? If the Philippians had not been praying, would Paul have been delivered? He seems to think not. I cannot help but wonder if the Philippians weren’t working on some legal means as well, making “petition.” Perhaps the messengers brought more than money.

Philippians 1 Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, 19for I know that through your prayers and the help given by the Spirit of Jesus Christ, what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance. There is a mystical element to our faith. (this is Troas and gift stuff) Sometimes out joy is unreasonable.

  42. Buddhism ~ “purpose” means that something is desired. Desire nothing. Buddha got enlightened. He showed the world that material satisfaction is not we need to crave for. There are higher truths that need to be known. Higher truths that cannot be explained. Why? Is it because they are sacred? No. It is because there is no language that can explain it.
