Two Divine Gifts<\/h2>\n

For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake.<\/i><\/p>\n

Philippians 1:29<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
Reading:<\/p>\n

Philippians 1:18-29<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

Do I rejoice at Christ being preached, no matter how He’s preached?<\/p>\n

Am I depending on the prayers of others as well as the provision of God’s Spirit?<\/p>\n

Have I made my body available to Christ, so by it He may magnify Himself?<\/p>\n

“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain”<\/span> — seriously? How so?<\/p>\n

What am I willing to endure for the “furtherance and joy of faith”<\/span> of others?<\/p>\n

My life; the Gospel of Christ — how well does the former fit the latter?<\/p>\n

What are others hearing of my standing in and relationships with my home congregation?<\/p>\n

Believing on Christ and suffering for His sake \u2014 can I learn to see them both as gifts from God’s hand?<\/p>\n
