Live Up to What You Know; Philippians


May the mumbling commence!

There are many topics that Christians disagree vehemently on.  Sometimes we allow topics like these to sour our relationship and forget about the things we can and do agree on.  And, in the midst of all this bluster, we forget to live into what we have already attained together through Christ Jesus.  It is this very thing that the Apostle Paul points to in his letter to the Philippians in chapter three (NIV):

Only let us live up to what we have already attained. (Verse 16)

It is a simple message, but we frequently ignore it.  Don’t worry about the subjects that we disagree on…  Rejoice in the subjects that we find in common.  Rejoice in Christ Jesus – the focus of our lives as Christians.

Remember who you are, and live up to what you’ve attained.

Enough mumbling for now…

Peace Out
