Reading:
Philippians 2:1-11

Got a problem with either of those? (Like I do?)

Do you detect in yourself (as I do in me) a picky attitude or a proud spirit?

If I stop doing anything for the sake of contrariness or self-promotion, how much would I stop doing?

“Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves” (3).

Nothing.

Wow! 😯

So…how do I overcome strife and vainglory?

By lowliness…meekness…humility…servanthood…Christ-likeness.

“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus” (5).

[Let each esteem other better than themselves (Philippians 2:3)]
